Description

The Penguin Random House Book Fair is an annual event devoted to advancing the cause of reading, literacy and learning in our community.  Each year approximately 4500 attendees join us to celebrate reading by listening to a story with their children, buying books, attending a parent reading seminar, hearing a Penguin Random House author speak, engaging in STEM activities, participating in the silent auction, etc.  Proceeds from the event benefit student scholarships at Carroll Community College.
