[Michlib-l] Author fair

[Jessica Holman]

The Negaunee Public Library has held something of the sort for a number of
years. During the week that everyone is back for class reunions and other
fanfare, we have hosted 6 or 7 authors in our meeting rooms. Sometimes I've
invited authors personally; this year I reached out to the Upper Peninsula
Publishers and Authors Association and had enough authors volunteer their
time within a day or two of putting out the call.

We do not charge them anything for the space, and provide coffee and water.
They keep all their proceeds from their book sales. Some kindly donate
their books to the library, or offer us discounts.

Participating authors have enjoyed connecting with readers and especially
each other.
