Miami Book Fair International

The Miami Book Fair International is an eight-day literary party November 8th-15th, 2009 at Miami Dade College in Miami.
Among the noted authors who spoke are Al Gore, Melvin Van Peebles, Andy Borowitz and Susie Essman. The Fair, in
its 26th featured six nights of readings and discussions with the noted authors from around the United States and
around the world. Thousands of South Florida schoolchildren participated in Children’s Alley activities,
including theater, arts-and-crafts, storytelling and readings by children’s book authors.

The first Miami Book Fair International, founded by Miami Dade College and community partners, took place in 1984.
Since then it has been recognized as the nation’s finest literary festival. In 2001, the Fair became part of the Florida
Center for the Literary Arts at Miami Dade College, a cultural and academic initiative that promotes
the advancement and appreciation of literature throughout the year.
