Event Details

FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Join us for our 3rd annual event!

Donate some new or gently used books for the cause, then pick up a few new ones from local Savannah authors, representing a variety of genres.

The authors do book signings and sales while Book Nation of Dreamers collects book donations for community literacy activities, here in Savannah. 

The authors are local and so are many of the stories. An autographed book, set in Savannah, makes a great holiday gift.

Know a local author who wants to participate?
