Parking Information

On the day of the festival, it will cost $5 to park inside the Central Library garage, no matter how much time you spend at the Book Festival. Payment is due upon entry to help facilitate a speedy exit for our Festival attendees! CREDIT CARD ONLY. Attendants will NOT have cash on hand.

Tip: Arrive early if you plan to park here as this lot, being the closest one to the Festival, fills up fast!

HEADS UP: Southbound entry into the garage (from Soledad) will not be permitted. Enter from northbound Soledad.

If you are driving to the Book Festival, we offer several options for free parking (in addition to the plentiful paid parking surrounding the Central Library).
