While indeed the world bade a painful farewell to many prolific writers and storytellers in 2016, Mentone Public Library were blessed with a rebirth of local literary talent and new library members to our humble establishment. With 2016 and the holiday period now behind us, we wanted to take the opportunity to pay homage to the year that was and the wonderful stable of local authors and national literary treasures that made our sixth series of "An Author for All Seasons" so memorable.
