Founded in 1995 by Laura W. Bush, Mary Margaret Farabee, and a dedicated team of volunteers, the Texas Book Festival was created to celebrate Texas authors, promote the joy of reading, and support public libraries across the state. Since its inaugural event in November 1996, the Festival has evolved into one of the nation’s premier literary events, drawing book lovers and literary enthusiasts from across the country.
