Literacy Leap Book Fair

"Literacy Leap: Read & Meet with Local Authors" is a free, family-friendly book fair celebrating the joy of reading while spotlighting the incredible talent of local children's authors in Columbia, SC. This event invites families with K-12 children to enjoy an afternoon filled with books, activities, and the opportunity to meet and interact with authors who call our city home.

Our goal is to foster a love of reading in children, raise awareness for local authors, and promote literacy in our community. By attending, you’re not only supporting local talent, but also helping raise funds for Richland County Public Education Partners—an organization dedicated to supporting education across our region.

This event also serves as an important effort to combat the summer slide, encouraging kids to continue reading and learning during the summer months to maintain academic progress.
