Old Lantern at Bolivar County Library System


The Friends of the Bolivar County Library System host several author visits each year called either Lunch With Books or Evening With Books depending on the time they are scheduled, either 12 Noon or after 5 p.m., respectively. All upcoming author visits will be advertised with flyers at the library, on the BCLS Facebook page, and on this page below.

The Friends of Rosedale also host author visits throughout the year at the Rosedale Public Library. The scheduled day of the week and time varies from program to program. All upcoming author visits hosted by the Friends of Rosedale will be advertised with flyers at the Rosedale library and at the main library in Cleveland, on the BCLS Facebook page, and on this page below.

All author visit programs are open to the public and free-of-charge. Generally for each program, the author’s books will be available to preorder from the Cotton Row Bookstore to pick up at the program and/or to purchase from the Cotton Row Bookstore the day of the program to take with you to the program; in some instances the books may be available for purchase outside the hosting library at the program. Call Cotton Row Bookstore at (662) 843-7083 to pre-order or for more information about purchasing author visit books. Flyers created for program will specify how to obtain books for that program’s visiting author.
