Local Author Fair
Several Northwest Ohio authors will showcase their books on the main level of Way Library. This event offers an excellent opportunity to meet local authors, engage in conversations, and purchase their books. A diverse lineup of local authors, representing a wide range of genres—including children’s picture books, mystery thrillers, action, adventure, biographies, inspirational works, local history, poetry, and more—will be featured at this free public event. There will be books for all ages, including children, teens, adults, and families. Authors will handle their own book sales, and the accepted forms of payment (cash, check, or credit card) will vary by author. Many authors will also be available for book signings.
Attendees will have opportunities to win prizes throughout the event.
