I really enjoyed this event last year and wanted to do it again.  I called the library and spoke to the children's librarian.  They're not actually doing the book festival this year, but they're presenting something called the Dogwood Children's Literacy and Art Festival in May.  They're featuring one author/illustrator, David Catrow.  The librarian I spoke with did take my name and number and did say she'd like to use me possibly in the summer reading program so maybe I'll get to visit Palestine's library in that capacity.  I'll keep everyone posted.
