Northwest Ohio has always had a thriving arts scene, including authors and poets across the spectrum of skill and style. The Author Fair (which is one of the only larger-scale book events in the area) is the shop’s way of supporting local authors and getting great literature into the hands of local readers.
Of Rust and Glass (est. January 2020), a Midwest publisher based out of Maumee, is Gathering Volumes’ co-sponsor.
(Sept. 22 is the rain date.)
