This is the fifth year they’ve run this innovative program, now being emulated in a number of other libraries, which showcases local authors and illustrators.
I joined about eighty authors making up this year’s collection for a launch party in the covered courtyard at the library. Our books, including The Ashes of Home, will be shelved prominently near the main library entrance, and they’ve put together a rolling slideshow for their display screens.
You can find out more about the collection at:

What a great idea. And that they really highlight the local authors is a really nice touch.
Excellent Ian ... and good to see you. Great the library is helping local authors open their doors to their books ... good luck with the extra publicity and interaction. Congratulations - cheers Hilary
Alex, I love that they take the initiative to do this.
Hilary, hopefully it will get the book into a few more hands.
Way to go Ian. What a great idea to showcase local authors!
That's great to see a library supporting local authors. You'd think it would be a no-brainer but unfortunately many of them do not.
Denise, Karen, yes I think it's a fabulous idea. It sounds kinda obvious, but like all good ideas only in retrospect.
