It is with ongoing concern for the health of the community in and around the greater Saratoga region that we are canceling the first-ever Saratoga Book Festival scheduled for this June 5-6.  Once this pandemic has passed, and we hear from government and health officials that it is safe to gather in large groups again, we expect to start planning a 2021 book festival that will bring authors and readers together to promote life-long reading and literacy. Then as now, we are committed to presenting a literary event that celebrates big ideas, civic engagement, and the power of books to inform, challenge, inspire, and delight.
