The City of Florence is gearing up for its annual Book & Literacy Festival, set to take place at the Florence Nature Park Event Center in Kentucky. The festival, a community event celebrating books and stories, will feature two separate programs.

On February 28, the "Books & Bottles" evening program will be held from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Attendees can look forward to an evening with authors Ashleigh DuBois, known for "Yes, but I Still Have Joy," and Patricia McLinn of the Secret Sleuth series fame. Guests will have the chance to interact with these authors while enjoying small bites and drinks. A cash bar will also be available during the event. Tickets are priced at $15 and require prior registration.

A free children's program is scheduled for March 1 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., offering families a morning of interactive storytelling and entertainment. This program includes Author Storytime sessions with Brittany Thurman and Gin Spaulding, a puppet show by River City Puppets, and an introduction to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library by the Boone County Public Library.
