LeaLA to return in 2015 now as a biennial event

Launched by the University of Guadalajara USA Foundation and others in 2011, the Spanish language book fair LéaLA did not return to Los Angeles in 2014. But it has been confirmed that the event will take place May 15 to 17 of next year at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

"We're coming back," said Marisol Schulz Manaut, LéaLA's directorto Los Angeles Times. "The Spanish-speaking community of Los Angeles made this book fair their own, and we're going to give it back to them."

"Over its first three years, the event drew a steadily increasing audience, with 85,000 people attending in 2013. In 2015, for the first time, the book fair will also be a trade event, Schulz said, with librarians, book agents and others taking part," reports Los Angeles Times.
