Authors From Thomasville And Tifton at "Books & Bites"!

That's right! When we hold our big authors' event, "Books & Bites," on Thursday, May 27th, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. here at the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library (that's 204 5th Street, Southeast, in Moultrie, in case you don't know), we'll have authors from Thomasville and Tifton attending. They will be part of the group of 31 authors you can meet and talk to about their writing careers.
