The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books in Association with UCLA is a two-day celebration of the written word and one of the country's premier literary events. The event is open to the public and will be held throughout the UCLA campus.

The events will include special lectures by celebrated authors, book reviews, writing workshops, and storytelling festivals at a stage located in the children's area. A panel of respected judges from the literary world will also be on hand to award the annual Book Prizes for outstanding offerings from the past year.

The Festival promises something for everyone, from seemingly endless rows of booths to exciting events and demonstrations on six different stages. The Festival also features book signings by today's leading authors, poetry readings, an extensive children's area and books for sale.
