The Warwick Children’s Book Festival was first held in September 2005 at Stanley-Deming Park in Warwick, NY. So well-received, it was clear the Festival would have to become a Warwick tradition. After a six-year hiatus during which Albert Wisner Public Library designed, built and relocated to a beautiful new building, the Festival resumed in 2011. Planned and organized by the Library, the Festival is sponsored by Library 
benefactors Glenn P. and Susan D. Dickes, the Village of Warwick and others. Best Book Fairs, LLC is the bookseller. A portion of the proceeds benefits the Albert Wisner Public Library Foundation, which funds enhancements to the programs and services of the Library.
The 2022 Warwick Children’s Book Festival will be held on Saturday, October 8 from 11am-4pm at Stanley-Deming Park at the intersection of South Street and Parkway. Admission is free and the Festival is open to all the young at heart. Join fellow readers to celebrate children’s literacy, share a love of the written word, discover new books, talk with those who create them, and have your book purchases autographed. Nearly 2,000 visitors attended the Festival in 2021. The Festival will again bring the community and visitors together in the 
heart of the Village of Warwick, near charming shops, galleries, and family-friendly cafes, and close to apple orchards and family farms.
We are delighted to welcome back the beloved Uncle Brothers Band. Singer-songwriter Tom Gardner and colleagues will perform a lively, interactive concert for children in the bandstand at 12:00pm. Preview the Uncle Brothers here and invite a friend to the concert! Feel free to bring a blanket, towel or lawn chair.

This year, the Warwick Historical Society celebrates its 120th Anniversary, and for the first time in many years, our annual Open House falls on our actual birthday — Sunday, April 19. It makes the occasion especially meaningful, and we would love your help in making it a success.
Like last year, from 1:00–4:00 PM, we will open our properties to the public and are seeking volunteer docents to staff each location. Shifts will be divided into:
- 1:00–2:30 PM
- 2:30–4:00 PM
You are welcome to take one shift and explore the other properties on the other half (or do both, if you’re feeling festive!).
To engage our younger residents this year, we are launching a TIME TRAVELERS PASSPORT PROGRAM, made possible in part by a grant from the Warwick Savings Foundation. Children ages 10 and under can pick up a WHS “passport” at Buckbee and must visit each open property to receive a stamp from the docent after answering a simple question about the site. Once they’ve collected all the stamps, they will return to the Buckbee to show their completed passport and select a prize.
This initiative is a wonderful way to engage children while also encouraging families to explore and get involved in all that the Warwick Historical Society has to offer.
If you are available to docent, please reply with your preferred shift time or if you can do either. Participants will receive docent notes at the beginning of April to review and I will have printed copies onsite.
We truly appreciate your support and hope you’ll join us for this special day.
