Princeton Children’s Book Festival is set to return on Sept. 21.

The eighth annual festival is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Hinds Plaza and in Princeton Public Library’s Community Room.

More than 80 authors and illustrators in children’s literature are set to participate in the festival.

During the festival, young readers can interact with the people behind their favorite books who will talk about and sign copies of their works.

Author John Rocco, best known for creating the book covers for the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series, created the poster announcing this year’s festival and is set to attend the event.

Other participating are authors Avi (Things That Sometimes Happen, Crispin: The Cross of Lead, Sophia’s War) and Ann M. Martin (A Dog’s Life, A Corner of the Universe, The Baby-sitters Club series).

The library is located at 65 Witherspoon Street in Princeton.
