About this event

On Saturday, April 11, stroll through Downtown Amherst as we celebrate all things literary! The Massachusetts Center for the Book and the Amherst Business Improvement District are partnering with downtown businesses and organizations to provide a day of author readings, poetry, local history, giveaways, and more, in celebration of Amherst’s rich literary community.  The Amherst History Center will host 2 events, a cemetery walk at 11:00 and a poetry workshop at 1:30.  For the full schedule and to register, click here. Maps will be available the week of March 30th at participating locations, including the Amherst History Center. All events are free to attend. Collect at least 4 stickers at events throughout the day, and hand in your completed map to any MCB staff to be entered into a raffle to win some bookish goodies!
