Author Series

The Clarksburg-Harrison Public Library Author Series is the library's showcase of literary events. Throughout the year, authors of varying backgrounds and genres are invited by the library to inspire a love of reading, feature voices that energize community conversations, and support the arts while providing an enjoyable literary experience. Previous Author Series events include author forums, roundtable discussions, poetry readings, and writer workshops. The Author Series is sponsored by the Cultural Foundation of Harrison County and the Friends of Clarksburg-Harrison Public Library.
