Siouxland Libraries to Host Second Annual Author Fair

Published on November 07, 2025

Siouxland Libraries is hosting its second annual Author Fair on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Downtown Library (200 N. Dakota Ave.).

Attendees can meet more than 20 local authors and seven panelists from 10 to 11 a.m., followed by the Food and Nutrition Writing Panel from 11 a.m. to noon. Featured on the panel are Sanaa Abourezk, Sandrine Pilaz, and Zeke and Nate Bake.

At 1 p.m., the Genre Writing Panel begins, and guests will hear from Arley Fadness, Emersyn Park, Jon Runyan, Randy Faustino, and CK Van Dam.

“The Author Fair provides local authors an opportunity to showcase their books within our community,” said Jeri Light, Librarian for Siouxland Libraries. “It’s a unique opportunity for readers to connect with local voices, discover new stories, and learn about the writing process directly from the authors themselves.”

The Author Fair is free to attend, but registration is required. To register, visit siouxlandlib.org/author-fair.
