Meet the Author Series

This lively and interactive event features Central Coast authors who read aloud from their works, sign books, and answer readers’ questions. Over wine, refreshments, and casual conversation, readers and writers connect and share their love of books.

The library also features books by local authors in our special Local Authors section.

Special Note: In order to comply with state and local guidelines for safe gatherings and to practice social distancing, the library has paused Meet the Author events until further notice. We look forward to resuming this popular event when it is safe to do so. 

Are you a local author? We’d love to hear from you!
