St. Joseph Public Library is hosting local authors today.

A local author showcase is being held at the East Hills Branch located at 502 N. Woodbine Road from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

The library says it’s an opportunity for area authors to discuss their books, writing process and to meet other area authors. Authors showcased may sell copies of their books. This event also provides an opportunity for the public to meet some of the talented writers in the St. Joseph area and to learn steps they can take to penning their own book.
