Enjoy the pictures from Author Con 2015!
Y’all come right in, folks! See the 20 authors, selling their books. The first Author Con event, a book fair in the small suburban community of Sachse outside Dallas happened on May 19. Led by the Director of the Sachse Public Library, Mignon Morse created a successful community event, demonstrating the friendliness of this tiny library.
Friends of the Library and the Sachse Wylie Authors Group (SWAG) supported the event, finding authors and spreading the word to the public. Community leaders attended, making it a friendly, family affair. Mike Felix, the Mayor, visited with the authors, his friends and colleagues. Sachse, a growing community, is home to many new residents with little immediate awareness of the fabulous friendliness of the little town of 20,000, located just east of Plano/Murphy and north of Garland.
With new construction and a shortage of homes in the DFW area, the new people in Sachse become aware of the community services through events such as Author Con. They join the city boards, such as the Library Board and help with Planning and Zoning issues, become members of the Chamber of Commerce and create new businesses.
The library is one stop for having a great life in the suburbs.
