Celebrate Local Books This Public Library Week

Posted: Oct 16, 2024

October 20-26, 2024 marks Ontario Public Library Week, and the Sault Ste. Marie Public Library is marking the occasion with two events to celebrate local books and authors.

Think you know local literature?  Prove it for a chance to win some great prizes!  Join the Sault Ste. Marie Public Library for a trivia night filled with a variety of literary facts to challenge your mind. Not a book buff?  No problem!  With questions that touch on history, sports, geography, and more, there’s something for everyone.  And if you want to brush up on your knowledge, we have plenty of information about local authors and books.

Join us on Tuesday October 22, 2024 at the James L. McIntyre Centennial Library, 50 East Street from 7-8:30 p.m.  This is a free program, but space is limited, so register soon to avoid disappointment! Registration is open now on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1020800992247

Want an opportunity to meet some authors, purchase some books, and get inspired?  Author Palooza is back! Drop by the James L. McIntyre Centennial Library on October 24, 2024 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. to take part in this annual literary event.

Get to know some of your local authors and publishing professionals. Hear their stories of how they became published, what inspires them, excerpts from their books, and much more. There will be scheduled book talks with opportunities to ask questions and get your purchases signed by the authors themselves.

For more information on either of these programs, please contact the Reference and Information Desk at 705-759-5236.
