“Thank You” is not enough for what the Book Fair has meant to me throughout my four decades in Miami.

Your organization has a 40 year track record of success and has brought so much joy and knowledge to my wife and I.

The wonderful support offered during our first year as Friends of the Fair truly made the experience special. We enjoyed it so much!

Congratulations on another truly satisfying and enjoyable book fair this year. There’s a reason we tell everyone we know that the book fair is the time of year we look forward to the most. We’ve already started reading through the books we collected this year at the fair, and it’s kind of thrilling to have that connection — those memories — of having met the authors in person and hear what they had to say.

Miami Book Fair, and the positive impact it has on the community, is only possible because of community support. The Fair requires more than $3 million each year to operate, and rising costs are beginning to outpace how much we raise/earn each year. If Miami Book Fair is to continue bringing readers and writers together at this scale, the community must collectively invest in it.
