Local author program

Are you a local author or illustrator on the Northern Beaches? Have you recently self-published?

Our Local Author Program aims to support and promote our diverse local talent by providing an opportunity for independent or self-published authors, illustrators, and speakers to connect with their community and suggest their title for inclusion in our library collections.
