On Wednesday, May 20, 2015, Larkin Square will host the 2nd Annual Local Author Festival. The event is a tribute to all of the incredible authors that live right here in Western New York. Authors will be on hand to discuss and sign their books, and make a few sales along the way. Due to the continued success of Larkinville’s Larkin Square Author Series, literary folks have come out of the woodwork to participate and promote the district as a haven for authors and book lovers alike.
“As we conclude another successful season of the Larkin Square Author Series, we welcome back authors who’ve had their own nights here in the square along with many more for a true local literary festival,” said Larkin Square Director of Fun Leslie Zemsky. “It will still be fun and informal like our regular author talks – even more so with so many authors to meet!”
