This year that event will be held November 15th.

Our new location in Saranac Lake will not change that. It is very important to us as an organization to reach audiences living all over the region. Our programs take place everywhere from Saratoga Springs and Plattsburgh to Ticonderoga and Old Forge. We take great pains to reach every corner, and to forge partnerships with different organizations, libraries, and institutions as we offer the best programs for readers and writers in the Adirondacks.”
