About TBF

Teens can sometimes be overlooked in libraries, with much attention, money, and resources given to children and adults. Somewhat caught in the middle of budgetary constraints, this is our opportunity to dedicate an event to teens, to encourage their reading, and to demonstrate their value to and within our communities. And…to have fun!

The Mission of the Greater Rochester Teen Book Festival is to foster a community effort to celebrate and promote reading by connecting teens and authors.

The Festival is FREE and open to everyone, but seating preference will be given to teens at all author sessions!
