Buckeye Book Fair is This Saturday!
At the Buckeye Book Fair, Chima finds that same sense of magic that drew her to books as a child. “What I love about Buckeye Book Fair is that entire families come to shop for books,” she says. “I enjoy talking to people and figuring out which of my books—or someone else’s—to recommend. I love the young readers who go to every table and talk to authors and look at books so that they can make an informed choice. It’s always like coming home.”
October Buckeye Bookmark
The October Buckeye Bookmark Newsletter invites readers to celebrate nearly four decades of stories at the Buckeye Book Fair in Wooster on November 1, featuring highlights like Patrick Ryan’s Buckeye and its moving tale of small-town secrets. Leading up to the Fair, the community will gather on October 30th for Brave and Bold with Shannon Hale, honoring the 2025 Young Authors Excellence Award winners with an evening of storytelling, inspiration, and book signing. Guests can choose from several ticket options, and to make the celebration even more special, fans can collect Buckeye Book Flair, blue sashes and patches, including the inaugural 2025 edition and limited vintage designs, to show off their Book Fair pride.
