Join us for an inspiring day
celebrating our community's literary talent!
The Laurens County Library is thrilled to have this year's Local Author Expo take place at the historic Dublin Carnegie, the site of the first public library in Dublin. This year’s expo promises a talented lineup of local authors who will be showcasing their diverse works, ranging from adult fiction and non-fiction to children’s literature. We will have engaging readings and thoughtful discussions about writing and publishing, along with an opportunity to purchase books from the writers themselves.
The line-up of local authors and schedule of events will be posted by mid-September.
