TORONTO (Thursday, September 2, 2010) – Toronto Public Library’s fall season of the popular eh List Author Series brings some of Canada’s best authors to library branches across the city. Held from September 16 to November 22, the library’s premier literary series involves writers from coast to coast reading from their latest books and taking questions from the audience.
The fall blockbuster list of authors includes literary luminaries such as Linwood Barclay, Will Ferguson, Joseph Boyden, John Ralston Saul, Katherine Govier and Louise Penny, along with newer voices Robert J. Wiersema, Mark Sinnett, Sarah Elton and Micah Toub.
Thirty readings will be held at the following library branches: Toronto Reference Library, Deer Park Branch, North York Central Library, Barbara Frum Branch, Runnymede Branch, S. Walter Stewart Branch, and Taylor Memorial Branch. All programs feature readings and Q&A sessions, as well as book sales and signings. All are welcome, free of charge.
The eh List Author Series runs twice per year, spring and fall, and is partially supported by the Canada Council for the Arts.
