Bringing Authors To Your Library: A Step-By-Step Guide

Abstract

Libraries inspire, connecting readers with the men and women who create books through a long process. As authors draw upon extensive historical or scientific research, experiences from real life, and the evolution of their ideas and characters, they offer readers a deeper understanding and appreciation of a variety of topics. Inviting an author to an event at your library can add a whole new level of depth to the connection between reader and author, especially for younger readers. There are many steps and decisions to be made to get an author to visit your library, and it’s important to know those steps to make the most out of the experience and hopefully to do so with minimal expense.
