The Missouri Humanities Council has awarded a grant of $15,000 to Scenic Regional Library in support of the project, "Missouri Book Festival 2024." The MHC is the only state wide agency in Missouri devoted exclusively to humanities education for citizens of all ages. It has served as a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities since 1971.
The Missouri Book Festival sparks passion for reading while inspiring future generations of Missourians to become lifelong learners. In a singular celebration of literature, the Missouri Book Festival brings our region's most exciting and emblematic stories to life. The festival's event programs highlight regional history, food, music, sports, art, and more, emphasizing performance and interactivity. These programs are designed to engage and entertain attendees, who discover reading as both the connection to endless subjects and the ultimate catalyst of our imagination. The Missouri Book Festival is being planned in collaboration with Reedy Press and Washington Public Library.
Grant funds will be used to help pay for essential supplies and rentals for producing the festival, promoting the event, author and performer fees, and more.
