After more than a week of 400 celebrated and celebrity authors talking about their work, the Miami Book Fair International will come to an end on Sunday.
The fair is being held on the Wolfson campus of Miami Dade College.
"The Book Fair is a cornerstone of what we do at Miami Dade College. Literacy helps make a community strong and stable," said Dr. Eduardo J. Padrón, president of Miami Dade College and Miami Book Fair International.
Despite severe budget cuts this year, organizers say they got a great program that even the kids will like.
"We have a very wonderful Comics Galaxy with a brand new area for children and teens to teach them how to illustrate their own stories," said organizer Alina Interian, "And it is totally free."
On Sunday, CBS4 reporter Michael Williams will host a session with Ralph Nader on his book "Only The Super Rich Can Save Us" at 10 a.m.
