The Boston Book Festival

GBH is proud to be the presenting partner of Boston Book Festival 2024

As a public media powerhouse, GBH knows a thing or two about the importance of literature. Our own Arthur Read once said, “ having fun isn’t hard, when you’ve got a library card!” To get in the bookish spirit, we’ve curated some of our favorite literary content. Browse through our upcoming events, sign up for GBH Book Club, stream our programs about writers, and snuggle up with a bingeworthy classic with GBH Passport.
