In hopes of giving you and your family quality, clean content to enjoy together, Deseret Book Live! will air on Facebook weekdays at 6 p.m. MDT.

Be sure to tune in on Facebook for each episode and stick around until the end, as we will be giving away special prizes each and every night. Winners for each night's drawing will be selected the next morning.
