Books by the Banks is a celebration of books, reading, and the cultural arts. We work throughout the year to present and promote authors, while promoting the joy of literacy and lifelong learning through reading and writing.

The premiere event is the Books by the Banks Cincinnati Regional Book Festival held annually in downtown Cincinnati. The day-long festival, which is free and open to the public, features national, regional, and local authors and illustrators; book signings; panel discussions; and activities for the entire family to enjoy.

For writers, there is a writing contest. Various author panels, fun for kids, author pavilion!
