Gainesville's Sunshine State Book Festival seeks to generate interest in more books

When was the last time you read a book cover to cover?

If it’s been a while, you might not be alone.

According to a 2022 study from the National Endowment for the Arts, only about 37% of adults read novels or short stories.

In Gainesville, this weekend’s Sunshine State Book Festival hopes to generate more interest in books.
