Local authors invited to participate in youth fair

The Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library is looking for Michiana authors to participate in the first Local Author Youth Fair to be held next month.

The event is designed to give youth writers and readers in the area an opportunity to connect. Local authors who have published a book for children or teens are welcome to promote their works and sell and sign copies at the three-hour event.

“At this point, we are recruiting Michiana authors who have published works for children,” said Judi Lykowski, communications manager for the library.

The free fair, open to the public, will be held from 4-7 p.m. Thursday, April 6, at the downtown Mishawaka Library, 209 Lincolnway East. There is no cost for authors to participate, but advance registration is required, as space is limited. Each participating author will be provided with an area to set up, including a table, two chairs and free public Wi-Fi service during the fair.
