Seven of the 14 authors attended, along with journal editors Edward Connor and Sal LaBruna. Library Director Catherine Lemmer, several library trustees, and members of the library’s local history committee also participated.
Plans for the first issue of 2024 are well underway. Attendees discussed ideas about marketing, publicity, author topics, writing style, and format and resource citation.
