You can support and enjoy local authors and contribute to the library with Books For Christmas, an Idaho Writers League event, at the Coeur d’Alene Public Library Thursday, Dec. 7, beginning at 3:30 p.m.

Readers can meet the authors, participate in book giveaways, buy books, and have them signed throughout the event. A portion of each book sale will benefit the Friends of the Coeur d’Alene Public Library.

Participating authors will include contributors to the “Jewett House Centennial Anthology,” as well as these authors and their work: Jack Castle, Jenny Lamont Leo, Toby Neighbors, Matt Prescott, Ron Vergona, Suzanne Holland, Linda Shane, Anna Goodwin, Larry Telles, Joyce Nowacki, Diane Markley, Tom Reppert, Jim Payne, Emily Moore, and Tana Lovett.
