ABOUT
The Morristown Festival of books is where readers and authors meet.
Since 2014, the Festival has brought the community together to celebrate the power of the written word.
The Morristown Festival of Books celebrates the power of the written word to challenge, transport, and transform us as individuals and to bring us together in conversation as a community.
We have hosted Pulitzer Prize winners, NYT bestsellers, Newbury and Caldecott medalists, and more. See the full list >
