Celebrating Books And Authors (And Readers)

Wikimedia

Maybe books on paper are becoming passé, but people still love to read. 

Witness the voter creation of a special district to keep libraries open in Jackson County earlier this year. 

Another library, the Hannon Library at Southern Oregon University, celebrates books and their makers with its third Ashland Book and Author Festival

The event is being held in the fall this year for the first time, rather than the spring. 

SOU librarian Jeffrey Gayton and outreach director Fela Winfrey drop in with the details.
