Center for Lifelong Learning Hosts Book Fair Promoting Local Authors

Aiken, SC (09/14/2021) — The University of South Carolina Aiken (UofSC Aiken) department of external programs is hosting the first Center for Lifelong Learning (CLL) Book Fair on November 13 in the Business and Education building, room 200, from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Admission is free, but guests are encouraged to make a donation at the door and be entered to win prizes.

The book fair will promote local authors and offer book lovers an opportunity to meet and chat with the authors while browsing unique titles. A total of 46 authors are expected to participate, with more signing up as the date draws closer. The fair will have sessions on African American heritage poetry, fantasy, and more.

"The authors who will be attending represent a wide range of writing genres, from middle-grade fiction to fantasy and science fiction. If you plan to attend, please allow enough time to attend some or all of the sessions and also to talk with any authors whose writing interests you," said Steve Gordy, book fair organizer and CLL curriculum chair. "We're doing this book fair as a fund-raising endeavor, but also to let the public know how much writing talent we have both locally and regionally."
