Virtual Author Talks
A series of author talks by New York Times Bestselling authors will be available to the public this summer, virtually at the Summit Free Public Library, through the Library Speakers Consortium. Many libraries across the U.S. have partnered with the Library Speakers Consortium to make top-selling author talks more accessible to patrons of local libraries. Each talk is via Zoom, and attendees can participate in a live Q&A session with the authors.
“We are excited to offer access to interactive, virtual talks from New York Times bestselling authors and a Pulitzer Prize winning historian this summer,” said Abigail Brady, Head of Adult Services at the Summit Library. “Join in live and be part of the conversation, or watch the recordings on your own schedule. The selected titles cover a wide range of fiction and non-fiction genres including contemporary fiction, romance, business, personal growth, history, art and more.”
These programs are made possible by the Friends of the Summit Free Public Library.
