With Amazon selling more e-books than hardbacks, this may not seem like the best time to be having a book festival in San Diego County — let alone two.But that’s what book lovers have in store, with the San Diego City College International Book Fair concluding this weekend and the County Library Book Festival running all day Oct.9.
“Whatever the format, it’s still a writer putting pen to paper or tapping their fingers on keyboards,” said Liz Hildreth, co-chair of the library festival.“It’s still authors, still stories, still books.We hope what the festival tells us is that books are a real part of people’s lives.That books are still important.”
So important, organizers say, that one day they hope to rival (竞争) festivals in other places that routinely draw more than 100,000 people and feature hundreds of top writers across virtually every literary genre.
Now in its fifth year, the weeklong City College International Book Festival attracted about 150 people to its Sept.24 opening night.The featured author was Laurel Corona, a professor at the school who writes historical fiction.
“Festivals are just fun, for readers and authors,” said Corona, one of the experts at the county library event.“They create excitement about books in general.People wander, discover authors they might never find otherwise.”
Moore Susan, community relations manager for the county library system, said going to festivals changed her view that “owning a book was enough.I went and heard authors like (children’s writer) Chris Raschka.He added depth and meaning to what I had read, brought new ideas forward that I had no clue about.”
“We’re doing it because we love books, we love reading, and because our customers are asking us all the time for author events,” Moore said.“People really do long to make those connections.”
