Meet the writers who live and create in our region! On Saturday, Nov. 7, Newton Public Library is hosting its second-ever Local Author Day, a celebration of creativity and storytelling featuring authors from Harvey, Reno, McPherson, and Marion counties – and beyond.

Here’s the agenda for the day:

11 AM: Panel discussion: “Getting Your Book Noticed: A Conversation with Local Media.” With Emily Christensen, managing editor of The SHOUT; and Ted Ayres, writer and host of “Inside the Cover” on PBS Kansas.

1:30-3:30 PM: Browse books, chat with authors, and discover new local reads during our author fair.

Whether you’re a writer, a reader, or just love supporting local talent, please join us.
