Los Angeles' annual Festival of Books is getting the virtual treatment this year as the novel coronavirus pandemic continues.

Instead of taking place on the University of Southern California campus as usual, the event — a partnership between The Los Angeles Times and USC — will be reimagined this year as a "virtual community-wide gathering," it was announced Friday.

The virtual festival will launch on Sunday, Oct. 18 and span over four weeks rather than the festival's traditional two days.

The Los Angeles Times is set to host author panels, readings and other events throughout the festival. To celebrate the festival's 25th year, there will be 25 individual virtual events.
