The Library celebrates authors who published a book in 2023 with a festive reception on December 12. No surprise, our Library writers' work covers everything from literary and genre fiction to picture books, from history to economics to business to comedy to memoir!

Buy your copies from our friend at the Corner Bookstore via the links below.
