The Terp Author Book Fair returns with a playful, family-friendly celebration of alumni writers. Inspired by a Candy Land–style adventure, guests can follow a colorful path across the grounds to explore rooms filled with literary fun. Enjoy Terp-author tablers, kids story hours at the top of every hour, creative crafts for all ages and the Terp Author Hall of Fame, where you can purchase books by alumni. With activities for all ages, the fair celebrates the talent and creativity of the Terp author community.
This day provides a wonderful opportunity to see all that Maryland has to offer. To see a full list of events across campus, please visit the official Maryland Day website.
Both events are rain or shine!
