Beat the Heat with Author, Literary events in August

Richmond is lucky to have numerous literary events and literary institutions. Authors often present their work at area book shops and writers’ groups, giving book lovers a chance to hear from storytellers and learn about their subject matter as well as their craft. Escape the heat at one of Richmond’s many book oriented events. Or just lose yourself browsing through the stacks at one of these bookshops or the region’s many public libraries.
