The Greater Pittsburgh Festival of Books is taking advantage of their new date of May 14, 2022 to plan a whole year of events and happenings, all to encourage a love of literacy and to celebrate Pittsburgh’s rich literary heritage.

Through the help and generosity of Google Pittsburgh we were able to hand out books focused on STEM, books featuring a diversity of characters, classics, and even a few monster books.
