According to the Festival’s web site:
“Border Book Festival, Inc., (BBF) is a non-profit organization founded in 1995 by a group of writers, artists and community people committed to celebrating literature and the art of story in the southern United States--Northern México border region. We began as Border Book Festival, what we imagined then would be a one-day book fair. Since then we have grown into a major literary festival, founder of The Cultural Center de Mesilla. We believe literature and the arts can bridge the many boundaries--racial, ethnic, generational, cultural, socio-economic, and gender-based--that divide our community. We are a grass roots organization that impacts its community by offering programs that are blueprints of positive communication, interaction and connection between people in our region.
The [Festival] is a catalyst between many [groups and organizations] including city, state and governmental agencies, schools, businesses and community centers. We’re a bridge builder and model for positive exchange between diverse people in the borderland region including cities and towns in West Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Northern México."
Libros y Mas, the festival trade show will take place on the historic Mesilla Plaza and features local, regional, national and international authors, presses and artists. Three stages include the Main Stage of live music, the Children’s Storytelling Tent and the Lucha Stage, which will highlight Lucha Libre, Mexican wrestling and poetry.</td><td width=150 valign=top><img src=http://sonewmex.com/images/bbf_side-img-community.jpg align=center border=1 vspace=5 hspace=5 alt=""></td></tr></table>For more information on the festival, to volunteer or to purchase tickets, please contact the Border Book Festival at the Cultural Center de Mesilla by email at: bbf@zianet.com, on the web at: <a href=http://steppinoutnewmexico.com/modules.php?name=Content&op=visit&id=329 target=_blank>www.borderbookfestival.com</a>, or call 575-523- 3988
