The 23rd West Virginia Book Festival drew readers to Charleston on Saturday with national bestselling authors, local writers and activities.

The 23rd West Virginia Book Festival took place on Saturday at Charleston's Coliseum and Convention Center. The free event ran from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and attracted book lovers from across the region.

The festival featured a lineup of national bestselling authors including R.L. Stine, Craig Johnson and Kate Quinn, alongside local writers. Attendees had access to more than 50 vendors, a children's storybook costume parade and a used book sale.

Michelle Ross, Manager of the Cross Lanes Branch Library, said the festival was rewarding because it allowed organisers to celebrate literature whilst showcasing the city to visitors from out of town. The first West Virginia Book Festival took place in 2001.
