15 Passenger Van Rental and the Brooklyn Book Festival

Once upon a time there was a festival in the borough of Brooklyn that was so influential it drew people from every corner of the country. Fair damsels and heroic knights gathered around tables and beneath awnings in order to share their stories and relive their tribulations. Does this sound like the sort of story you'd be interested in reading? Or what about living? The Brooklyn Book Festival is the inspiration behind this tiny tale, as thousands of literary lovers gather to celebrate America's most influential art. Customers of All Car 15 Passenger Van Rental are encouraged to become a part of the story this year by attending the one day literary event.

Bring the whole family in your 15 passenger van rental

The Brooklyn Book Festival is a great place for families to bond thanks to "The Youth Stoop" located at Borough Hall Plaza. Here, customers of All Car 15 Passenger Van Rental will find a variety of kid-approved literary programs, including live readings from some of today's most widely recognized children's authors. Parents can also engage in question and answer session with attending teen and children's authors. Authors that have performed in the past have included Holly Black (The Spiderwick Chronicles), Deborah Gregory (The Cheetah Girls) and Ivan Velez, Jr. (Dead High Yearbook). The evening is capped off on the Youth Stoop by readings from Brooklyn Snap's borough-wide writing contest.

Grab some good reading to go

Can't spend the entire day at the Brooklyn Book festival in your 15 passenger van rental? Then why not spend a few minutes browsing the unique collection of onsite vendors.
