Ashley Hall’s annual Book Festival is a spring tradition that brings our entire campus together to celebrate our shared love of reading. This year, we’re thrilled to host a week of exciting events from Monday, March 18, through Friday, March 22.

The 2025 Book Festival theme is Be Well: Be Well-Read, inspired by Ashley Hall’s work with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #3, focused on good health and well-being. Here’s a closer look at what’s in store!

Book Fair Location + Hours

There will be two book fair locations on campus: the LoDome for Early School through sixth-grade readers (Scholastic) and Jenkins Hall Atrium for grades 7-12 (hosted by Buxton Books). Shopping hours are as follows for both locations:
