*Los Angeles – the 12th Annual Leimert Park Village Book Fair returned to the intimate venue of the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza, Saturday, August 25, 2018.
“Voted One of LA’s Five Best Annual Book Festivals,” the 12th Annual Leimert Park Village Book Fair spotlighted southern roots and southern comfort as it highlighted the Great Migration of African Americans from the South to other parts of the Country, including the wild, wild, West.
This year’s theme is “Celebrating Our Southern Roots.” the Liemert Park Village Book Fair’s tribute to the love of reading cleverly merges the worlds of literary, entertainment and southern culinary arts, offering an eclectic mix of literature, art, music and food.
Various pieces of vintage luggage was place throughout the venue as well as a classic car that greeted everyone entering into the main entrance of the Mall. The second level of the Mall featured a display of photographs in keeping with the topic of Migration. Cold refreshing beverages was served to quench everyone thirst on this beautiful, warm day in Southern California.
