The Buckeye Book Fair is one of Wayne County’s strongest cultural traditions, and we invite local sponsors to help keep it thriving in our community. Last year, more than 9,000 people engaged with our events and outreach during November. Families, educators, and readers praised the fair’s organization, accessibility, and the rare chance to meet over 100 authors in one welcoming space.
Our reach continues to grow: 3,872 books sold in a few hours, attendees from 26 cities, and a digital audience of more than 180,000 across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and our website. More than half of our visitors were first‑time attendees, showing that the fair is expanding and strengthening literacy across Ohio.
Your support keeps this momentum alive. No sponsorship is too small; a $100 gift sends 20 more students home with a free book. Every contribution strengthens literacy, supports Ohio authors, and ensures our city continues to host an event that inspires curiosity, connection, and pride.
We hope you’ll join us in sustaining this beloved tradition and helping it grow for years to come. Please reach out anytime for more information, or visit our website, BuckeyeBookFair.org, to see how your support can make a direct impact.
