Read Local: Celebrating Local Authors

The Anderson County Library System encourages you to read local this Indie Author Day on Saturday, November 7. Indie Author Day will be celebrated virtually on the Library’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts and will feature 8 regional authors writing across multiple genres and ages. The celebration also kicks off the new Local Author collection at the Anderson Main Library.

Indie Author Day is an annual event for libraries and organizations around the world to highlight local authors, writers, and communities for a day of education, networking, and resource sharing. This year, the Anderson County Library is spotlighting local authors with a brief synopsis and purchasing information for their newest books, along with the Library’s writing resources. Content will be posted on the Library’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts throughout the day on November 7 as well as online at www.andersonlibrary.org/indie-author-day.
