Bookmarks: A Festival for Readers and Writers 8/29

Stories have the power to connect us, spark imagination, and open new ways of seeing the world. Whether you’re an avid reader, an aspiring writer, or someone who loves the creative energy of language, the Festival for Readers and Writers event invites you to spend the day celebrating the written word.  

RSVP for this event

Celebrate the stories that shape us, the words that move us, and the creativity that brings readers and writers together. This event is perfect for: 

  • Readers who love great stories 
  • Writers at any stage, from beginners to experienced creatives 
  • Anyone who values ideas, expression, and lifelong learning 

The festival also marks a special moment for Harper College, serving as the kickoff celebration for the reopening of the Schaumburg campus at the Harper Professional Center — a space dedicated to learning, creativity, and professional growth.
