Southwest Book Fiesta

From Southwest Book Fiesta Website:

The Southwest Book Fiesta will be held at the Albuquerque Convention Center on May 10-12, 2013. Sunbelt Shows, one of the largest trade show producers in the Southwest and the producer of the annual National Fiery Foods and Barbecue Show, is producing the show. The Book Fiesta supports the effort to increase awareness of reading and literacy in the region. This will be one of the largest book festivals in the region.

The Southwest Book Fiesta will bring together authors, publishers and the reading public in a family-friendly community event. The Book Fiesta will focus on both nationally-recognized as well as local New Mexico and Arizona authors. The mission is to recognize and encourage the literary accomplishments of New Mexicans and Arizonans.

Readings and special author events will feature some of the best books and authors from the region.

Proceeds of the Southwest Book Fiesta go to libraries and literacy programs to help programs in the region.
