At the Buckeye Book Fair, we believe every child deserves the chance to fall in love with reading. With your support, we provide free books, bring authors into schools, and create engaging literacy programs that inspire readers of all ages across Ohio. Together, we are opening doors to imagination, confidence, and opportunity.
On Saturday, November 7, 2026, readers from across Ohio will travel to Wayne County for one reason: the 39th Annual Buckeye Book Fair. One of Ohio’s largest and longest-running celebrations of books and storytelling, the Fair brings together more than 100 Ohio authors and illustrators for a full day of book signings, conversations, and literary discovery. What began as a local tradition has grown into a statewide destination for book lovers, educators, families, and aspiring writers.
More than a single-day event, the Buckeye Book Fair supports literacy throughout the year by connecting readers with authors, providing books to children, hosting educational programs, and strengthening communities through the power of reading. Every donation helps us continue this mission and ensures that the joy of books reaches even more children and families across Ohio.
Your sponsorship creates lasting impact by helping connect children with books, bringing authors into schools, supporting literacy programs, and ensuring the Buckeye Book Fair remains one of Ohio’s premier literary events.
