The Internet just requires people to be their own librarians. People will use technology for new things but it is not an end in itself. The first Festival opened in 1996, not only to show off new books and to promote literacy. To be able to share this kind of energy on the UCLA campus adds to the fun. The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at Royce Quad.
Admission is free to the public.
Tickets are required to attend author panel discussions and lectures. Tickets are available for free at all Ticketmaster locations. A limited number of tickets will be available on-site. The annual festival will be held this weekend between Royce Hall and the College Library. This site is best viewed in 800 x 600 resolution or higher.
