About Us » Sheboygan Children's Book Festival

The Sheboygan Children's Book Festival, established in 2010, is presented in partnership with community volunteers and local organizations that believe in the transforming power of reading and the literary and visual arts.

The SCBF has brought thousands of children and teens together with world-class authors and illustrators at schools and at our beautiful, welcoming festival venues: Mead Public Library, John Michael Kohler Arts Center, and Bookworm Gardens.

Building on the success of the SCBF, we launched the first Sheboygan Teen Book Festival in 2016.

The SCBF and the STBF take place annually in October. The Sheboygan Children's Book Festival and Teen Book Festival are programs of Sheboygan County Reads!, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization.

Great energy, presented with children in mind!

...I loved seeing how the artist does her drawing because I want to be an artist when I'm older.

I loved the intimate feel of it.
