The 2nd annual Books By the Banks: Cincinnati USA Book Festival, set for Saturday, November 1, will once again be held at the Duke Energy Convention Center. Watch a brief preview of this year's event!To get a grasp on this year's event, one need only look at what makes it so "novel." There's no charge to get in, yet, nowhere else in the Tristate region will booklovers find so many noteworthy authors all in one place, all on the same day. From 10am to 4pm, attendees can have their favorite books signed from their choice of dozens of writers and illustrators in the large author pavilion.  They can also take in fascinating author panel discussions and readings in the adjoining meeting rooms. Or, they can enjoy family activities in the all new Target Kids' Corner. For more of the story, go to the Books by the Banks website. Below you'll find videos featuring some of the authors who appeared at last year's festival.
