OE launched the Children’s Book Fair in 2021 to provide an open platform for local children’s authors to connect with the community face-to-face. Featured are local authors and their publications, readings, and more. OE Book Fair participates in donations to local charities by having guests bring gently used books (Pre-K thru Grade 12) to benefit the Hillsborough Education Foundation’s Teaching Tools Store.

“So many books, so little time.””

– Frank Zappa
