Event Details
As part of our National Library Week (April 19-25) programming, we are hosting a local Author Fair. Local authors will be selling copies of their books. This year's National Library Week theme, "Find Your Joy", was selected by Mychal Threets, ALA's Honorary NLW Chair and new host of Reading Rainbow. It brings us joy to share our local authors with the Charleston community!

David Mould - travel and historical biography writer, journalist, recently published Mission to Madagascar: The Sergeant, the King, and the Slave Trade
Tristan Martinez - children's book author and high school student, Trizzy's Midnight Mic Drop
