Working with partners, including the Adult Library Marketing Association (ALMA), we work to bring a wide range of books and authors to library staff. We strive to make our panels inclusive and diverse, representing a broad range of reading tastes and showcasing a variety of new titles, including debuts, genre favorites, bestselling authors, and more. Author appearances are generously sponsored by their respective publishers, and we are very grateful for their support!</p></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-56a79cce elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id=56a79cce data-element_type=section><div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"><div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5ea0d552" data-id=5ea0d552 data-element_type=column><div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-53f972fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id=53f972fa data-element_type=widget data-widget_type=text-editor.default><div class=elementor-widget-container><h2>Current Events</h2><h6><em>check back in Spring 2025 for our events at ALA Annual in Philadelphia, June 2025</em></h6></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1ea78f7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id=1ea78f7 data-element_type=section><div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"><div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-783dc21" data-id=783dc21 data-element_type=column><div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-18ee742 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id=18ee742 data-element_type=widget data-widget_type=text-editor.default><div class=elementor-widget-container><h2>Previous Author Events</h2><p><strong>ALMA/LibraryReads ALA Annual 2024 Your Morning is Booked<br></strong>Rumaan Alam, <em>Entitlement</em> (Riverhead Books)<br>Ann Dávila Cardinal, <em>We Need No Wings</em> (Sourcebooks)<br>Ramona Emerson, <em>Exposure</em> (Soho Press)<br>Daniel J.
