This month, the San Diego Central Library is displaying many dozens of books that local authors published in 2017. The downtown library hosted a lovely after-hours party for participating authors featuring live music, catered food and drink, and remarks from the library director and true-crime author (and Union-Tribune alum) Caitlin Rother. The library’s 52nd annual local author showcase welcomed authors who self-published or were published by a small press, university press, or a commercial press. If you visit the cases filled with books, you’ll see a wide range of genres and subjects that feels like a true reflection of our diverse county.
The library will maintain an online exhibit of all the books and authors for the rest of the year, so be sure to check it out!
