FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) – Over the next few months, the library will be hosting a variety of authors. From poetry, to historic fiction, to the author of a best-selling young adult book, there will be something for everyone.

On Sunday, August 25th, the National Book Foundation Presents: Summer with the National Book Awards. The 2:00 p.m. event brings authors to select communities across the country. The two authors coming to the Allen County Public Library are Charmaine Craig and poet Shane McCrae.
