Doktorski will speak as part of the Teen Book Fest panel discussion at 3 pm. She will join other young adult authors Crissa Chappell, Sandy Hall, Phoebe North and Lindsay Ribar.
In addition to the panel, East Brunswick Public Library staff host several family activities throughout the day. The schedule is:
10 am: Kids Craft
11 am: Children's Story Time
12 pm: STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Activity and BB-8 Obstacle Course

Library staff can register children for the Summer Reading program and the Foundation will raffle off four summer reading themed baskets when the fair is over. Additionally, teen Post-It Note artists will decorate the store's windows and cupcake decorating is available near the café area.
