Books for Library Lovers

# Move Over, Cupid!

February 14 is a very special date for libraries, librarians, and the people who love us!  Library Lovers Day (sometimes also known as Valentine's Day) is dedicated to all of the book lovers here in Jacksonville (and around the world) who rely on their public library for their books, movies, music, author talks, storytimes, writing workshops, and so much more! 

We love our library fans and we certainly feel the love from all of you!


Spreading Library Joy: A Lit Chat with Author James Patterson

You already know this (but just in case you missed it): Jacksonville Public Library is the best place in town to meet your favorite bestselling and local authors! But this one is kind of a big deal...

James Patterson, the most popular storyteller of our time, is coming to the Main Library to kick off the tour for his new release,  The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians, on Monday, April 8, at 7 p.m.  

An important note: After the interview, Mr. Patterson will ONLY be signing copies of The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians. No other books will be signed. As this event occurs on the release date, you can pre-order books from San Marco Books and More, and a limited number will be available to purchase on-site.
