Statement of Purpose:

The Kentucky Book Fair, Inc., was founded in 1981 under the appropriate statutes of the Internal Revenue Service as a charitable and non-profit corporation for the sole purpose of staging an annual book fair.

The Kentucky Book Fair has three key goals:
To honor the profession of writing in the form of a one-day celebration

To provide a format for authors to meet their reading public

To raise money through the sale of books and donate all profits to mostly school and public libraries throughout Kentucky
