Wisconsin Book Festival logoThe Wisconsin Book Festival is Wisconsin’s premier literary event, drawing 12,000-15,000 people for four days of author events. As the State Capitol and home to the University of Wisconsin, Madison boasts an engaged and active literary community who have shown a dedication to supporting great author programming.

The Madison Public Library is committed to ensuring that all Wisconsin Book Festival events are free and open to the public and hosts the Wisconsin Book Festival Event Series throughout the year as a way of generating awareness about the festival and solidifying author programming in the community.
