The Northern Arizona Book Festival (noazbookfest.org) is a long running 'literary extravaganza' founded by the Literacy Volunteers of Coconino County in 1998, though their website suggests that 2019 is its 24th year. The event became an independent non-profit organisation in 2002. It grew to fill a full week at many venues in downtown Flagstaff. A revamp during COVID made massive changes. Venues changed. Their logo changed. Event dates changed from September/October to March/April. Their domain shifted from nazbookfest.org to noazbookfest.org, their Facebook similarly and Twitter from nothing to something. Even the host city changed, in name if not location: Flagstaff changing to its Native American name, Kinłání. |
