As with all my guides, I will update them based on feedback, user interest, etc. If you like it please give it a like, hit the share button, otherwise I will focus on other guides to maintain, add new entries to etc. Similarly, be sure to check directly with library branches for updates, holiday rescheduling and more.
This effort is a work in progress. It takes a lot of time to locate events, confirm details, and update guides. If you would like to support my work in creating (and updating) free guides like this for everyone to enjoy, feel free to buy my a tea, coffee or beer below.

Where To Promote Book, Library & Author Events Bay Area
There is never a cost to submit events for consideration in my free weekly San Francisco Bay Area email newsletter with over 26,000 subscribers. If you would like to submit an event for consideration, add a venue/group/club not listed here, or suggest an edit, please use the contact form below.
My goal is to direct people to follow venues and orgs directly, sign up for their email lists, follow them on social media, and not to replace them as their primary outlets for communication but rather amplify efforts to remind folks to support these businesses and make it easier for people to find new places to explore.
