Local Author Day at Newton Public Library

Local Author Day.jpg
Meet the writers who live and create in our region! On Saturday, Oct. 11, Newton Public Library is hosting its first-ever Local Author Day, a celebration of creativity and storytelling featuring authors from Harvey, Reno, McPherson, and Marion counties – and beyond.
Browse books, chat with authors, and discover new local reads during our author fair, 1:30-3:30 p.m.
 
Come early for a panel discussion, 10:30-11:30 a.m., with featured authors sharing insights into their writing journeys and the publishing process. (More details TBA.)
