The Authorfest event, held at Cape Elizabeth High School this past Saturday, drew an enthusiastic crowd of mostly young readers and their parents.

Many local authors of books for both kids and adults were on hand for the culmination of the school district’s “Cape Celebrates Literacy” month.

This second annual event also included readings and lots of other fun, like a raffle.
