Salt Lake Book Festival: The Prologue

The Prologue kicks off the Salt Lake Book Festival on Friday, October 16, at the Salt Lake City Public Library Main Branch. It's the festival's opening event, billed as the perfect way to get things started before the main festivities begin. If you're planning to spend the rest of the weekend with the festival, this is where it all begins.

As the name suggests, this is the prologue to the rest of the festival. It's the first scheduled event of the Salt Lake Book Festival, so it serves as the official kickoff. The main festivities follow in the days after, and this is the night that sets the stage for them. If you're a reader or a writer, it's the first stop on the festival calendar.

It's held at the Salt Lake City Public Library Main Branch, located at 210 East 400 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84111. The library is right in the heart of downtown, so it's an easy spot to get to. The event starts at 6 PM on Friday, October 16. Since it's the opening night, it's a good place to get your bearings before the rest of the festival rolls out over the following days.
