Pgh Book Fest is a free, citywide celebration of books, creativity, and connection held at Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh’s main campus in Oakland.
Hosted by Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh (CLP), the Festival showcases a wide range of voices — from nationally recognized authors, indie booksellers, and community partners. With panel discussions, poetry readings, family activities, and a bookish exhibitor space, it’s a day dedicated to storytelling in all its forms.
Formerly known as the Greater Pittsburgh Festival of Books, we’re now Pgh Book Fest. With a fresh name and growing momentum, CLP is proud to carry this literary tradition forward, expanding the program, welcoming more authors, and creating more opportunities for readers of all ages to connect, discover, and celebrate the power of books.
