The Virginia Festival of the Book is happening next week, March 19 to the 23, and we think its important to note that many of the venues for the readings, talks, and discussions are on the DTM (or very nearby), thanks to places like the New Dominion Bookshop, Central Library, City Hall Chambers, WriterHouse, City Space, Jefferson School African American Heritage Center, The Bridge PAI, Herman Key Recreation Center, Firefish Gallery, Commonwealth Restaurant and Skybar, Woolley Mammoth, Carver Rec, Cville Coffee, Paramount Theater, the Downtown Transit Center, Villiage School, Virginia Discovery Museum, Oakley's Gently Used Books, Alakazam Toys and Gifts, Southern Environmental Law Center, and the Omni Hotel. Damn, we should just call it the DTM Book Festival! Click on the image below to see the full schedule for the week. And look for "day of" reminders next week for the DTM's Book Fest Picks!
