Yesterday I attended the annual Metropolitan Library’s Lit Fest.  It is held in Oklahoma City at the Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library. I had not been to this beautiful facility, and I had so much fun.  I traveled with a friend from the Enid library and ran into authors from all over the state.  Some I knew, some I got to know. 

I was with the Sisters in Crime Tornado Alley author group that I recently joined.  We spoke about mystery writing on an author panel and it was possible it snowed in that auditorium.  We were freezing to death! And it was 108 degrees outside. 

There may or may not have been some shoe shopping on the way home from Oklahoma City.  It was a fun day.

The library is four stories and is a beautiful modern building. I looked over the balcony at the dizzying heights and took a picture. 

There was a sandwich shop in the library and participants had access to bagels, cookies and many pots of coffee.  We were welcomed and showed off our wares to the public.  I only had time for one presentation, but it was a good one.  There were many speakers throughout the day.

I highly recommend attending this festival next year if you have not.  It is free to the public, authors are selling their books, software companies are showing you the latest and greatest in software to assist you with your writing, speakers are teaching you things you need to know, and mostly you will have a great time. 

Thank you Metropolitan Library’s Lit Fest for making us all feel so welcome.  I’ll see you again next year.

What are you reading/writing/learning this week?
