2025 Local Author Fair

Saturday, November 15 from 12-3 p.m.

Picture this: You’re sitting at your elementary school desk, watching the clock tick. Finally, the loudspeaker hums to life: “Third grade may now proceed to the gym.” You leap up and walk as fast as you can down the hall—it’s book fair day!

Join us for an engaging afternoon at our 2025 Local Author Fair! Come out to the Morgantown Public Library on Saturday, November 15 from 12-3 p.m. to meet with local authors and creators. Books and art will be available for purchase, so don’t miss out on this opportunity to shop local for the holidays.

We will also have retro book fair giveaways—like slap bracelets, scratch-and-sniff pencils, and fun erasers (while supplies last)! Grab a drink and snack while you browse, and stick around to make your own custom bookmark at our craft station.
