Books & Dragons 2026

Faerie Market & Carnival

Come one, come all, to the faerie market & carnival! Don your best fantasy frock and join us for our fourth annual Books & Dragons, an all-ages event inspired by tabletop role-playing games.

Don your costume and join us for an interactive event. Travelers will quest through the library on an immersive scavenger hunt, enjoy themed crafts, activities, snacks, and opportunities to play a one-shot session of Dungeons & Dragons. Shop at our Faerie Vendor Market to commemorate the occasion with themed merchandise.

Adult, teen, and child adventurers of all ages and experience levels are welcome.

What to Expect:

Upon arrival, begin your quest on the library’s lower level.

You and your adventuring party (aka your friends/family) will receive a map, choose from pre-made characters, then journey through the stacks to find various Dungeons & Dragons-inspired encounters. Your party will roll the dice to best villains and find “magic” to aid you on your quest.

No registration is required to attend.
