Free Gables Family Literacy Festival at Coral Gables Youth Center

Reading is fundamental, something we strive to instill in our kids at an early age and Miami is a city teeming with book fairs and literary happenings to help achieve that goal.

That's why this weekend, you'll want to visit the Coral Gables Youth Center on Sunday, May 21 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the free Gables Family Literacy Festival. It's the third annual event and one in the long list of bookish events.
