If you happen to be one of those people who’d rather snuggle up with a book than the TV remote, we’ve got something good for you! Held at the Key School, a progressive institution that teaches students from Pre-K to Grade 12, the 14th Annual Annapolis Book Festival is coming back to the city. On Saturday, April 16th from 10am to 4pm, people from all over the community are invited to engross themselves in knowledge.
Here’s a bit of what they have planned:
A Few Featured Authors:
Diane Rehm, host of the “Diane Rehm Show” and author of On My Own where she chronicles the death of her late husband John to Parkinson’s disease.
Amy Ellis Nutt, science writer and winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for her feature article “The Wreck of the Lady Mary.”
