Authors in Chelsea

An Evening with the Authors

Meet three award-winning children's and teen authors at this special annual event! **Please note, this event has been moved to the Auditorium at Washington Street Education Center**

CDL is pleased to host award-winning authors for children for the 15th year! The general public is invited to An Evening with the Authors, our community event where you will hear from all three nationally-known Authors in Chelsea, have a chance to ask questions, and purchase books to be signed (courtesy of Serendipity Books). Each author will speak for 15-20 minutes, followed by a book signing in the lobby.

Have you ever wondered what the writing process is like for a published author? How do they develop characters and setting? What’s it like writing for young children, versus tweens and adults? An Evening with the Authors is your chance to find out! Come ready with your questions about reading and writing for this very special community event!

This year's authors are Saadia Faruqi, author of the early reader series Yasmin and Ali the Great; Beth Vrabel, a middle grade author known for A Blind Guide to Stinkville and The Newspaper Club; and K.A. Holt, author of acclaimed novels in verse including House Arrest, Knock Out, and Redwood and Ponytail. Learn more about our visiting authors and the Authors in Chelsea program at https://chelseadistrictlibrary.org/authors-in-chelsea/.

Arrive early for FREE BOOKS! The first 20 families to arrive will receive a coupon for a free book from Serendipity Books. A wide variety of titles by our visiting authors will be available to purchase, as well.

Pssst-- this event is held at the Washington Street Education Center, not the library! We'll be in the Board Room in the main building (Senior Center entrance).
