Welcome to Paisley Book Festival 2021
This year's festival is going digital.
Books and reading have been a great source of comfort for so many people during lockdown, evidenced by increased borrowing figures at local libraries. The 2021 Paisley Book Festival programme has something for everyone and we look forward to welcoming you to our digital stage.

The Bookshop
Paisley Book Festival is delighted to announce that bookshop.org will be its online bookseller for the 2021 Festival, an online bookshop with a mission to financially support local, independent bookshops. As more and more people buy their books online, bookshop.org creates an easy, convenient way for you to get your books and support 375 independent bookshops at the same time.
For every book sold through the Festival’s Bookshop.org page, 10% goes back to Paisley Book Festival, which will go towards promoting future programmes that will encourage reading across Renfrewshire and beyond.
