The Lehigh Valley Book Festival returns for its 6th year March, 2025!

The Lehigh Valley Book Festival is a celebration of books and the strong connections they forge – bringing published authors, illustrators, and readers together, through thoughtful, approachable, and inclusive programming. Founded and produced by Let’s Play Books Bookstore and sister store, The End: a bookstore. This year’s theme is Words Worth Sharing, with education surrounding media literacy and our democratic values of free expression and open access to knowledge. There will be a variety of creative and informative programs around that theme – including activities for all ages – in and around the Lehigh Valley. 

10am The End Bookstore: Sip & Swoon Romance Brunch $30/ticketed

Join three romance novelists, Sophie Andrews, Timothy Janovsky, and Violet Marsh in the bookstore for
festive romance brunch items and specialty cocktails (or mocktail).

1-3pm The End Bookstore: Kids Make Books!

It’s the last event of the 2025 Lehigh Valley Book Festival and we are ready to have fun! Families with
children of all ages are invited to the shop to create their own book. From a small, folded book (think a
mini ‘zine) to a sew binding sketchbook, the Girl Scout Troop 63064 volunteers will help you create
something unique to you! Free, no registration required.
