Focus On Youth

For Kids and Teens

Believing that the love of books and reading begins in childhood and that children are more inclined to read and learn when exposed early on to age-appropriate, fun, book-related activities, Children’s Authors, Storytellers and the Young Readers Pavilion are firmly established as an integral components of the annual Louisiana Book Festival.

Programs for younger readers will take place throughout the day in the State Library and Young Readers Pavilion. The Young Readers Pavilion is located in front of the State Library along North 4th Street and includes the Activities Tent, Storytelling Tent, the Writing Enrichment Tent and the Face Painting Tent.

In addition to professional storytelling and writing enrichment activities, the Young Readers Pavilion offers craft making, face painting, and costumed storybook characters.
