Writers LIVE!

The Library’s flagship author event series, returns for another season of bringing the community together with authors and their books.

The 2025 lineup of bestselling, critically acclaimed and award-winning authors will be discussing their works from Jan to Apr across branch locations.

Local and independent booksellers, Classic Bookshop and Murder on the Beach, will have featured titles available for purchase at the in-person events.
