The festival kicks off with an opening panel featuring all of our guest authors and led by teen moderators!

After the opening panel, Festival-goers will be able to select three Authors presentation sessions to attend. We will also have Book Sales throughout the day and special Festival Goodies will be available for purchase. Refreshments and lunch will also be available for purchase.

The main entrance to TBF is at the Shults Center (behind the Arts Center). Author presentations will take place in the Shults Center, Smyth Hall, the Wilmot Library, and the Golisano Academic Center.

Each visiting author will present three times during the day, once during each breakout session noted below. This means you have three chances to meet your favorite authors and hear them speak!
