100 authors will set up displays throughout the first floor of the main library on Telfair Street. It will coincide with the beginning of National Reading Month. Seventeen authors are scheduled to speak about their books and answer questions.

This event is free to attend.

From the website: "Writing a book is great, but obtaining readers is not so easy. This is a great opportunity to meet other authors, network, meet agents, publishers and learn how seasoned authors make a living."
