The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books returned to the lively grounds of University of Southern California last April 18–19, 2026—and let’s just say, it was a full-on book lover’s playground. From cozy reading corners to buzzing author panels, the weekend felt like stepping into a world where stories ruled everything. With thousands of attendees wandering through rows of booths, the energy was equal parts literary excitement and community celebration. If you’ve ever wanted to be surrounded by people who genuinely love books as much as you do, this was the place to be.
Right in the middle of all that buzz was Citi of Books, showing up once again and making their presence known in the best way possible. Their booth was a magnet for curious readers, casual passersby, and dedicated collectors alike. With a whopping 87 book titles on display, there was something for every kind of reader—whether you were into heartfelt memoirs, imaginative fiction, or thought-provoking reads. It wasn’t just a booth; it felt like a mini library curated for discovery.
One of the biggest highlights? The six featured authors who brought their stories to life through engaging book signing sessions. Readers got the chance to meet the minds behind the pages, snap photos, and have meaningful conversations that made each book feel even more personal. Alongside these signings, Citi of Books also spotlighted one special book for distribution, giving visitors a little extra takeaway to remember the experience. It added that extra spark—because who doesn’t love going home with a new story in hand?
Fun fact: the festival isn’t just about buying books—it’s also one of the largest literary events in the country, drawing in hundreds of exhibitors and tens of thousands of attendees every year. That means every conversation, every signed page, and every book discovered at the Citi of Books booth was part of something much bigger. It’s the kind of event where stories don’t just sit on shelves—they move, connect, and inspire.
Looking back, Citi of Books’ participation in LATFOB 2026 wasn’t just about showcasing titles—it was about creating moments. From the excitement of meeting authors to the simple joy of flipping through pages under the California sun, it was a weekend packed with connection and creativity. And if this year proved anything, it’s that the love for books is alive, thriving, and always ready to welcome one more reader into the fold.
