The 74th Annual Greater St. Louis Book Fair returns this year! Visitors can browse thousands of publications, including novels, recipes, and everything in between. This is the Midwest's largest book fair. 

Madeline Black, a longtime volunteer, spoke with Mary Caltrider of Show Me St. Louis about her excitement for the event. With Black shares, you can expect CDs, DVDs, comics, vinyl, books, and unbelievable discounts. Proceeds from the fair benefit local literacy programs, which cultivate a lifelong love of reading. The preview night is May 2nd. The event runs from Friday to Sunday. You can learn more by visiting.
