Thousands turn out for Lit Fest

Posted on September 17, 2009 by Staff

An estimated 12,000 people attended the North Carolina Literary Festival last Thursday through Sunday at UNC.

The top-attended non-keynote event was the reading and interactive storytelling by children’s author R.L. Stine, with approximately 450 kids and parents present.

Visitors donated approximately 600 children’s books, which were given to the pediatric oncology clinic at UNC Hospitals.

The free public festival, funded by gifts and grants, is organized and sponsored every other year by the libraries of UNC, Duke and North Carolina State, with additional support from North Carolina Central University. For more information, visit NCLiteraryFestival.org
