Details/Detalles

Join SBPL for a Local Author Book Festival! Celebrate Santa Barbara’s literary talent and listen to authors read excerpts from their work in a “book karaoke” format on the Michael Towbes Library Plaza.

Books make great gifts and this is a wonderful way to “shop local” for the holiday season. The Library will host a crafting table for kids and our Friends of the Library will be on hand to gift wrap. Featured author/book categories include:

-Children’s Books
-Young Adult
-Adult Fiction
-Adult Nonfiction
-Poetry
-Zines
-Local Publishers

Thank you to the Friends of the Library and the Santa Barbara Public Library Foundation for their support.
