    Greater Austin Book Festival

    Sure, it’s the prettiest time of year to be outdoors, but bibliophiles know the natural world’s got nothing on the wonders to be found inside a book. Austin Public Library celebrates the vibrant community of authors, illustrators, and readers we’ve got here by putting them all in one place – specifically, the Central Library’s Youth & Family Atrium – for a full day of free readings, signings, and panel discussions on topics like the research process, writing and illustrating for children, world building, and romance & erotica. Participating authors include Kate St. Clair (The Ptolemy Project), Jeanette Horn (Play, With Knives), Kasim Josey (Seeds of Ayé), L.K. Latham (Midnight Whispers), and Jack Woodville London (Dangerous Latitudes); see the full lineup at library.austintexas.libguides.com/GABFest. – Kimberley Jones

    Independent Bookstore Day

    Just when you thought your to-read list was safe, another celebration of independent literary biz comes a-knocking. You know the deal, Chronicle reader, intelligent sophisticate that you are: Special deals and events will be popping up at all your favorite indie booksellers across town. That includes BookWoman’s signature “mystery bundles,” Reverie Books’ hour-by-hour genre sales, and Black Pearl Books’ libro.fm giveaway and new T-shirt design reveal. Check out the socials of your favorite indie spot to see what they’ve got going on, and make sure to support them after the special day’s done, too. – James Scott
