Lucinda Eubanks reads at the Sausalito Historical Society's "Authors" event at the library. What a great turnout for a special evening! Sausalito has had some amazing authors over the years, including Cyra McFadden, Rick Seymour, Lew Welch, Shel Silverstein, Evan Connell, Maya Angelou, and Daniel O’Connell. Check out the exhibit upstairs!

We got in another batch of Arkham House novels. Just have to process them before they go out onto the shelves--catalog, apply barcodes, stamps, and stickers.

Join us at 6:00 p.m. in the library on Friday, May 22 for an evening of readings from the Sausalito Historical Society's “Authors” exhibit celebrating the town’s literary legacy. The exhibit itself is a curated tribute to the prolific and diverse literary figures who once called this waterfront community home. Now open to the public, the exhibit honors 40 late Sausalito writers whose works contributed to Sausalito’s cultural history.

For decades, Sausalito’s unique landscape and bohemian spirit served as a sanctuary for storytellers, historians, and social critics. The “Authors” exhibit brings these voices back to life through a display of author biographies, quintessential quotes that capture the essence of their prose, and physical copies of their original publications.

Featured writers include iconic local voices such as Jack Russell Wagner, William Bronson, Sterling Hayden, and Cyra McFadden, among many others who documented the evolution of Northern California through both fiction and non-fiction.

“Sausalito has always been more than just a place to live; it has been a place to think and to write,” says Jim Scriba of the Sausalito Historical Society. “This exhibit allows residents and visitors to learn about some past authors who lived and wrote in Sausalito.”

We recently visited the downtown branch of the Lexington Public Library in Kentucky. What an amazing place! It was roomy, had a pendulum, friendly staff, and an awesome Friends of the Library bookstore in the basement. Wish we could have stayed longer to explore. These few photos don't do it justice.
