?作者、讀者及節慶主角:書本!書本的 組成要素之一就是紙,而照片中,這些的出席亞利桑那州書本節的小孩,正在學習如何製紙。

 亞利桑那州的書本節始於1998年,當時,亞利桑那州的人文委員會決定要 以南部及西部的許多優良作家為主角,並贊助圖書館、書店、社區中心及其他教育及文化單位所舉辦的書 籍相關活動。受邀出席亞利桑那州書本節的作家,各自代表了不同的文化、文學風格及主題。

What do you need to have a book festival? Authors, readers, and, of course, books! One component of books is paper, and in this photo you can see kids at the Arizona Book Festival, learning how to make paper.

The Arizona Book Festival started in 1998 when the Arizona Humanities Council decided to feature the many good writers from the South and West and to sponsor book-related events that take place in libraries, bookstores, community centers, and other educational and cultural spaces. The authors invited to the Arizona Book Festival represent different cultures, literary styles, and subject matter.

Barbara Kingsolver is one of the authors from the Southwest who is honored at the festival. Born in Kentucky, Kingsolver moved to Arizona, and her first novel, The Bean Trees, is about a young woman who leaves rural Kentucky and finds herself living in Tucson, Arizona. Many of her other novels also take place in Kentucky and Arizona.

Other events at the festival include characters from books, who make special appearances, like Clifford the Big Red Dog.
