The Book Fest was put on Saturday by SALT, an area library coalition, and UT Tyler. County Judge, honorary event chair, and self-professed book lover Joel Baker said the Book Fest was a rare opportunity for people who like to read, and may want to become authors themselves. Said Baker, &#8220;It&#8217;s just outstanding to have a great collection of authors, and the organizers have done a wonderful job of bringing this together.&#8221; The Book Fest, at UT Tyler&#8217;s Ornelas Center, allowed attendees to meet and chat with the authors, check out their books, and ask questions.  Baker added, &#8220;It&#8217;s interesting to hear how those books were put together and the history, the stories behind the books.&#8221; The event also offered tips and guidance for aspiring writers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER &#8212; At Tyler&#8217;s second annual Book Fest, 56 authors plied their wares, and 14 award-winning speakers shared their wisdom.
