The New Americans Magazine and the New American Community Information Center host the 2026 New Americans Book Fair at the Karl Road Library.

The Book Fair will showcase the works of authors, poets, artists, agents, writers, film producers, printers and publishers from the immigrant and refugee community. More than a book exhibition, the Fair serves as a platform for empowerment, giving immigrants and first‑generation voices the opportunity to share their work, connect with readers, and engage in meaningful dialogue about identity, belonging, and community development. It also provides young people with exposure to writing, publishing, media literacy, and creative expression.

AGE GROUP: | Families | Adults |
