The Aurora Public Library District supports local authors as a part of our Strategic Plan. We house a Local Author collection at the Santori Library to promote a reading culture in Aurora and to support the local arts community. To partner with the library or host a reading please submit a program proposal form here.
A statewide collection of independently published Illinois authors.
This unique anthology brings you the best books you've never heard of and delivers them to you electronically. Modern and historical novels comprise the "Fiction" collection while everything from business guides to personal memoirs make up the "Nonfiction" collection. From vibrantly illustrated books for children and relatable chapter books for young adults to international thrillers and mysteries for adults, the Indie Illinois: Discover Local Authors Anthology can be enjoyed by readers of all ages.
Be sure to check out the highlights to discover the best reads from your local authors as selected by Library Journal!
A nationwide Library Journal reviewed collection of self-published fiction.
The Indie Author Project (IAP) is a publishing community that includes public libraries, authors, curators, and readers working together to connect library patrons with great indie-published books. IAP has helped hundreds of libraries engage their local creative community and assisted in getting more than 12,000 indie authors into their local libraries. Most importantly, the project has worked with top curation partners and librarians to identify hundreds of these as the best indie eBooks available to readers—so they can be sustainably circulated to library patrons with confidence.
