Celebrate Virginia Authors at the 23rd Annual Literary Awards Virtual Events, October 13–17
The Library of Virginia Literary Awards, sponsored by Dominion Energy, will be held virtually this year with a week of author conversations and special events beginning Tuesday, October 13, 2020. Anchoring the week is the Library of Virginia Literary Awards Celebration on Saturday, October 17, with our nominated authors, presenters, special guests, and featured speaker Douglas Brinkley, a U.S. presidential historian and best-selling author.
The Library of Virginia Foundation has received over $15K in challenge support from some of our generous donors. That means your support is matched 1:1. Gifts help support programs, special projects, conservation efforts, and exhibitions. Those who wish to help us meet this challenge can contribute here.
