ICYMI: MALF’s next lunchtime webinar is tomorrow, March 26. Join us – and fellow Friends from across the state – for “Read All About It: The Minnesota Book Awards.” Discussion will be led by The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library, the long-time organizational stewards of this important program.

In an average year, more than 6,000 people descend on Falcon Heights for this one-day celebration of the book, which is coordinated by Rain Taxi. It’s no wonder why. More than 70 presenting authors and nearly 100 exhibitors will offer a jam-packed day of booths, panels, and other programming geared towards readers (and aspiring writers) of all kinds.
