The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books was created in 1996 to promote literacy, celebrate the written word, and bring together book publishers with those who create books with the people who love to read them. Between 130,000 and 140,000 people attend the event annually. The Times has launched its first mobile interactive guide to help attendees explore this weekend’s Festival of Books. Through ebook publishing, the festival is now available for free download for iPhone, iPod Touch and Android users, it includes the following features:
All attractions, including the Festival’s eight outdoor stages, hundreds of panels, exhibitors, book sellers and live entertainment, will be comfortably located around the USC campus’ central Trousdale Parkway. Other conveniences added this year include additional information booths, sit-down dining and more concession stands, a shaded rest area, an increased number of parking spaces and valet parking option for panel pass purchasers. Triangular shuttle service between Union Station, Los Angeles Convention Center and USC will also supplement existing public transportation.
The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books is presented in association with USC, presenting sponsor Target, major sponsors Buick and GMC and official ticketing provider Eventbrite.
