Local Author Fest

Author Fest, Downtown Reno Library, Saturday, November 9, 10 am

Join us at the Downtown Reno Library for a day celebrating local authors and their work. More than 30 local authors will read from, sell, and sign their books. Readings will take place every 20 minutes on three stages. Registration is required. This is a special after-hours event for registered attendees. The library will not be open for regular library service.

Special guest Willy Vlautin will take the stage at 2:30 pm. The New York Times bestselling author and Reno native will discuss his publishing journey and his newest book, The Horse. Seating for this portion of the event is limited; tickets will be available in-person, on a first-come-first-served basis, on the day of the event.
