Evenings with Authors features nationally and internationally known writers reading and discussing their most recent books. Each author gives a 50-minute reading, followed by a question-and-answer period and a book signing reception that is open to all.

Our Evenings with Authors programming is divided into two seasons: Winter/Spring (January–May) and Fall (September–November) with a break in between for our summer programming, Literary Picnics.
