Founded in 1998, the Northern Arizona Book Festival has enjoyed years of success and become one of Flagstaff’s premier cultural events. The Festival has an active board of directors who partner with many organizations in the area including the Flagstaff Public Library, Northern Arizona University, Bookmans and other local organizations. The goal of the festival is to promote the value of good literature and to provide residents of Northern Arizona direct contact with both local and nationally-renowned authors and their work.
