Dear Festival of Books Participants, he residents of Brookings welcome you. We are excited to serve as the Thost city for the 2018 Festival of Books, and share the wonderful place we call home. Brookings’ slogan is “Bring Your Dreams,” and as visitors to our progressive and growing community, you will quickly realize why that tag line fits us so well. We pride ourselves on creating an environment where everyone is welcome. Begin your journey at the Children’s Museum of South Dakota. While you are there, be sure to stop by the gardens on the building’s north side and say hi to Mama T-Rex and her baby, Max. I promise she won’t bite, but she will talk back to you. Continue to the east and you’ll find the recently restored Car- negie Library, which now serves as the home for the Brookings Arts Council. You will love walking down our Main Avenue, lined with niche shops and beautiful flower baskets. As you near the north end of Main, stop by Nick’s Hamburger Shop for a delicious lunch. You don’t want to go home and tell your friends that you forgot to grab a “Nick’s Burger.” Be sure to take advan- tage of the other outstanding culinary opportunities in Brookings, too. You will not be sorry! Check out all we have to offer at visitbrookingssd.com. On behalf of my office, the Brookings City Council and the Convention & Visitors Bureau, I look forward to meeting all of you and welcoming you in person. Sincerely, Keith W.

String them together just right and you can make people love you or hate you. Words are stronger than Sioux quartzite, more dangerous than bullets and more healing than anything you ever held in your hands. When readers and writers gather for the South Dakota Book Festival, it is a celebration of words …” — Bernie Hunhoff “The Word in Deadwood,” South Dakota Magazine, Sept/Oct 2005 y coming retirement after 15 years of South Dakota book festivals leads me to ponder how our fes- Mtivals have strengthened bonds among book lovers. I remember the first, which featured 120 authors in Deadwood. We opened with Senator Tom Daschle introducing his book, Like No Other Time. Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Proulx, historian H.W. Brands, musi- cian Joy Harjo and novelist Leif Enger were all there. And one evening we gathered at Mount Moriah Cemetery for ghost stories and hot chocolate. Every festival since has had its own special moments. Remember Pete Dexter playfully passing his baseball cap to other panelists in 2005? And 2006, when KELO-TV interviewed Maureen Ogle, author of Ambitious Brew: The Story of American Beer, in the Sioux Falls Holiday Inn bar? I’ll never forget George McGovern deadpanning about his 1972 presiden- tial loss during National Public Radio’s “Not My Job” segment in 2008, and Dave Eggers asking us all to clap in appreciation for a teacher who asked a question during a panel discussion in 2010. In 2014 we piloted the successful Young Readers One Book South Dako- ta. Kate DiCamillo commented on the “sacred task of telling stories for the young: how do we tell the truth and make that truth bearable?” Just last year, we were thrilled to host Philip Deloria, Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve and S.D. Nelson. They talked about the legacy of the holy man Black Elk, who is now being considered for sainthood. David Azerrad, Her- itage Foundation leader, joined panelists to discuss “Liberty through Limits: The Bill of Rights,” an exhibit featured in 50 libraries in South Dakota. Then, later, Tim O’Brien asked all of us, “Cannot a word stop your heart as surely as arsenic?” This will be my last book festival as executive director of the South Dako- ta Humanities Council, but it won’t be my last festival. I’ll be joining you in 2019 and beyond because, like you, I know that words are magical. Readers and writers are important to our state and country, and that’s the very core of our South Dakota Festival of Books.
