COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

The Savannah Book Festival’s mission extends far beyond the four days of our annual event. We believe a love for reading fuels better educational outcomes, fosters critical thinking, and enriches lives. This belief drives our year-round commitment to putting books in the hands of readers and connecting communities with the power of the written word.

Our work is a true collaboration, made possible through vital partnerships that broaden our reach and deepen our impact. In close collaboration with the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, we bring authors and books directly to students, creating powerful learning experiences that inspire the next generation of readers. We are proud to partner with the Live Oak Library, the DEEP Center, and The Current, E. Shaver Booksellers, Union Mission, and Goodwill Southeast Georgia to ensure that our programs and resources are available to a diverse audience, igniting a shared passion for literature and celebrating the vibrant cultural life of our city.
