Amelia Island Book Festival Organization
The Amelia Island Book Festival is a Florida registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supported by the community through financial donations.
​
The Festival does not have full time employees, however, it does, from time to time, contract out services such as accounting and technology management.​
Organization members are all local residents, and several are also authors.
​
Several long-time supporters who are dedicated to AIBF’s mission of promoting literacy have been named as AIBF Ambassadors.
