 Over the years at Provo City Library's Teen Book Fest we've reimagined the past, explored dystopian futures, and survived the zombie apocalypse; this year's Teen Book Fest takes teens and tweens to a galaxy far, far away as we welcome bestselling author Tom Angleberger (author of The Strange Case of the Origami Yoda, Darth Paper Strikes Back, The Secret of the Fortune Wookie, and The Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppett) to the Library for an afternoon of fun, games, and origami mastery.
Provo City Library patrons are invited to join us on Saturday, October 19 at 11:00 AM for the our 4th annual Teen Book Fest. Meet Tom Angleberger, enjoy activities for teens, mingle with guest visitors from the Alpine Garrison dressed as Star Wars characters, pick up a free book, and more!
Tickets are required for this event; limited tickets will be available on October 5 at 9:00 AM to Provo City Library Patrons. Tickets can be picked up at the First Floor Reference Desk.
