Author Tonia Brown displays her books for sale at the 2017 Read Local Author Fair.

Kings Mountain, NC - The Mauney Memorial Library invites regional authors to participate in the 2018 Read Local Book Fair, to be held at the library on Saturday, March 24, from 10 am until 1 pm.
Tables for authors will be placed around the library, and the Friends of the Library will hold a bake sale. The registration deadline is February 28th, and forms can be found on the library's website. Space is limited to the first twenty-five registered authors. "In 2017, every author sold a book," states Library Director, Sharon Stack. "Kings Mountain citizens verified the importance of the love of reading while showing support for local talent."
Last year's lineup represented lovers of fiction, history, inspiration, art, poetry, children's books, and more, and included works both traditionally and self-published. This is a great opportunity to sell your books and meet other local authors. According to Cindy Blair, the Friends' president, "Last year we had a great turnout. Everyone had a wonderful time. We had a variety of baked goods for sale as well as free water and coffee."
