The Leesburg Public Library presents its 5th annual program celebrating local authors and their books on Saturday, October 10th from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. The goal of this unique event is to bring exposure to local talent and nurture the pursuit of the writing arts in Central Florida. This is an opportunity to meet and chat with authors who will share ideas and insight on writing and publishing with the community.

The local authors participating are John Coffey, Stacey Coverstone, Janet Davis, Joseph Ferretti, Candace Keller-Raber, Katherine Mitchell, Joseph Persaud, Geraldine Prusko, Chase Stroud and Penney White. They will have books available for purchase and signing. The library will offer incentives for anyone attending the program and visiting the authors’ tables.
