Centennial Celebrations Local Author Book Fair
2025-12-12 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Chicago)
Join us as we kick off the celebration of our library’s 100th anniversary with a special Centennial Celebrations Local Author Book Fair!
This festive event highlights the incredible talent in our community — meet local authors, pick up signed copies of their books, and find unique holiday gifts for the readers in your life. Throughout the evening, enjoy engaging panel discussions where authors will share their creative process, writing journey, and insights into their work.
It’s the perfect way to start the season — and our centennial — by celebrating stories, community, and the power of local voices. Free and open to all!
Advanced registration is available and will close on December 8, 2025. Advanced registration will get you access to refreshments and a 100th anniversary swag bag.
