Good day. I had a local author call and ask if I know of any libraries that have events where multiple authors come, and sit at tables selling their books and talking to people. He said he’d participated in one in Monroe. We had one here a few years ago, but don’t have another one planned. Figured I’d put this out there and see if any of you folks are getting one together. Thank you. Ed -- Ed Burns Assistant Director Ferndale Area District Library (248) 546-2504 xt695 edburnsiii@ferndalepubliclibrary.org
We just did one in Lakeview. It was a wonderful success, and we plan to make it an annual event. Please ask him to contact our library to be put on our invitation list for next year. We welcome any other names and contacts that are floating out there in library land, as well. Library contact information:Pamela Feutz, adult serviceslvw@llcoop.org989-352-6274 Thank you, Ed!

Hi Ed (and Michlib-l), We're having one on Saturday, October 15th (just 9 days away!) and I have 25 authors signed up to participate. I view it as giving an "equal playing field" showcase to local authors, who may not be able to sustain a solo event, and as fostering connections between authors. When I did them at Springfield Township I think the authors may have had more fun than the patrons - they made a lot of good connections with other writers. If this goes well here at Loutit, I'll consider doing them twice a year (spring and fall) since we have so many writers in the area.
