Photos: Cultural Literature Celebration @ the Library!

The Fort Smith community had the 

unique opportunity to meet award-winning children 
and teen authors during the Cultural Literature Celebration. 

Each author spoke about their writing process, the impact culture has on their writing, and gave their best reading and writing advice.

The author talks were followed by book signings at stations throughout the library. The following authors participated in the celebration, and their books were available for purchase. 

• Kwame Alexander  
• Joseph Bruchac  
• Matt de la Pena  
• Debby Dahl Edwardson  
• S. D. Nelson  
• Jewell Rhodes  
• Gary Robinson  
• Duncan Tonatiuh

The Fort Smith Public Library is grateful to Fort Smith Public Schools for their invitation to participate in their Cultural Literature Conference. This event would not have been possible without their sponsorship.
