General Public Program: KLF offers a nationally recognized program of live cultural and literary events for the general public that covers a range of global and local topics. Programs encourage people to recognize different perspectives, engage in stimulating conversations, foster creative thinking, and explore new ideas. KLF produced 125 literary events reaching 9,000 people.
Youth Program: The goal of the youth program is to ignite a passion in young people for reading and writing. Outstanding writers, artists, and original thinkers meet face-to-face with young people to discuss the importance and power of storytelling.
