Story Circle with Local Authors

Local authors are ready to read during Kids Story Circle drop-in anytime between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m.! No need to be on time, just come when it works for you.

Hear a story, meet the authors, and visit the Local Author Book Market to pick up a book to gift? or keep for yourself! See what our local used bookstore has by local authors and for writers and local historians.
