Welcome to our Local Author Showcase event! Join us as we celebrate the talent of local authors in our community. This is an exciting opportunity for book lovers to meet, greet, and discover the works of these gifted writers.

Throughout the evening, attendees will have the chance to listen to book readings and performances from various authors, providing an insight into the stories and characters that make their books so captivating. Whether you’re a fan of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or children's books, there will be something for everyone.

In addition to the readings, visitors can browse and shop the local author marketplace, where they can purchase books and meet the authors in person. Discover new authors, get your books signed, and maybe even find a new favorite book.

Local authors are invited to apply to participate in the showcase. This is a fantastic opportunity for authors to connect with readers, share their work, and promote their books. Interested authors can visit our website for more information on how to apply.

This event is perfect for anyone who wants to support local talent, expand their reading list, and connect with the community. You can bring your friends and family, spend the evening browsing books, listening to readings, and chatting with the authors. Who knows, you might just meet the next big author!

So mark your calendars for June 1, 2023, from 6-8 p.m. and join us at the public library for a night full of fun and excitement. Admission is free, and the event is open to all ages.

We can't wait to see you there!
