“This virtual series has been a great platform for Texas authors, illustrators, librarians and literacy advocates to connect with book lovers statewide and beyond.”
The Texas Center for the Book is pleased to offer its fourth season of its #TXBookChat series, their popular virtual literary events program, launching July 29, 2021. This online program from the Texas State Library and Archives Commission began in 2020.
The #TXBookChat series offers brief discussions with authors, librarians and literary professionals. These informal “coffee chats” last about 30 minutes and offer a quick look into different aspects of the state’s literary world. #TXBookChat seeks to bring together diverse voices and perspectives.
#TXBookChat season four will present four new conversations, scheduled through this fall. All programs begin at 11:00 a.m., Central, with the final conversation being with Lone Star Literary Life's Kristine Hall.
“We are so excited to host another season of the #TXBookChat program at the Texas Center for the Book,” said Coordinator Rebekah Manley. “This virtual series has been a great platform for Texas authors, illustrators, librarians and literacy advocates to connect with book lovers statewide and beyond.”
The events take place on the Zoom platform, and registration is required. Visit www.tsl.texas.gov/txbookchat to learn more about upcoming events and reserve your spot.
