VIRTUAL AUTHOR TALK SERIES
October Series

Thanks to the Friends of the Library, we have recently subscribed to the Library Speaker Consortium. Each month we will be providing a series of virtual Author Talks. Books and authors selected will cover a wide range of fiction and non-fiction genres including historical fiction, contemporary fiction, romance, poetry, business, personal growth, social justice, history, art, culture and more! These are live events with interactive Q&A sessions where participants can ask questions directly to the author.
