A dozen local authors will be in the library for this drop-in author fair. Visit authors in Memorial Hall to chat with them about their books, find great new reads, and learn about the local literary talent from Andover and the surrounding area.

Authors will have copies of their books to sell, accepted payment methods may vary. This event features children's picture books, a memoir or two, some local and not so local history books, and more!

Find out more about the participating authors and their books by clicking on their names below or viewing our local author guide.
