Eat Drink Read Write feeds the body, mind, and soul. It engages people in conversations around food and eating. Everyone eats, savors favorite foods, and enjoys food memories. By bringing folks to the table to share a common bond, we foster community in this diverse city and increase awareness of food-related concerns in our region.

Local Authors Expo is sponsored by the Friends of the Birmingham Public Library and provides an opportunity for local authors to sell and autograph their books. Included will be both adult and juvenile fiction and nonfiction titles.
