Calling authors, book experts, script writers, illustrators — and volunteers, too!

We are delighted to announce Boonton’s first ever book festival, Boonton Books and Beyond, set to take place on our town’s historic Main Street, Saturday, November 13, 2021.

The festival celebrates the written word in all its glory with a special focus on New Jersey’s own wordsmiths, either hailing from our beautiful state or living here.
