Coming This Fall: Local Author Fair at Crown Point Library

Posted by lclemons on 12 July 25

The Crown Point Community Library is excited to announce our first-ever Local Author Fair, taking place on Saturday, September 27, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Main Library.

This free, public event will showcase authors from across the region who write for all ages and across a variety of genres—from children’s books to adult fiction and non-fiction. Browse author tables, meet the writers, discover new reads, and support local voices. Many authors will have books available for purchase and signing. Whether you’re a lifelong reader, an aspiring writer, or just looking for a fun literary outing, the Local Author Fair is a great opportunity to connect with the creative community. Admission is free and open to all ages.

Local Authors: We Want You!

If you’re a local author interested in participating in the event, we’d love to hear from you! There is no fee to participate, and each selected author will be provided with one table to display and sell their books. Authors must commit to being present for the full event time.

The Local Author Fair will give writers an opportunity to:

Engage directly with readers of all ages
Showcase and sell their books
Network with fellow authors
Share their publishing journey with the community

Interested authors must register by September 1, 2025 using the following link: https://forms.gle/wgN7FDrAXoN9QLgy9. Space is limited. Authors will be notified by email whether they have been accepted or placed on the waitlist.

ADVOCATE – Friends are a voice for the Library on relevant, local, state, and national issues.

ENGAGE – Friends spread the word within the community, stimulating greater awareness of the Library and its resources.

SUPPORT – Friends volunteer at fundraising events, as well as, library events when needed.

FUNDRAISE – Friends fundraising activities, such as Bunco for Books, literary luncheons, bus trips and book sales generate revenue to fund items not generally covered in the Library’s budget, and to sponsor programs such as the summer and winter reading events, author talks, concerts, library book discussion groups, Book Baby Bags, and a variety of literacy outreach services.
