(Gina Nguyen | Daily Trojan)The largest book festival in the country, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, is making its annual return to the University of Southern California. In 2011, disagreements on how the Los Angeles Times and UCLA should share and reduce expenses led to the Festival being relocated to USC, where the Festival has been held ever since. “We’ve been super happy on the USC campus,” said Ann Binney, the associate director of events at the L.A. Times, in an interview with the Daily Trojan. The new area also includes visiting departments from the L.A. Times including the food team, freelance team and art department. In partnership with the L.A. Times, who plans the event, USC works to integrate the local community into the Festival.
