Meet the Authors | August First Fridays 2026
Advertisement
Take a break from the games, tournaments, and excitement of August First Fridays and stop into Fables Books for a special Meet the Authors event during the Goshen Games!
From 6-8 p.m., meet two Indiana authors whose books explore the communities that shape us, the stories we inherit, and the impact one person can make.
Lawrence Giden will be signing The Call to Activism: Messages to Inspire the African-American Community. Drawing from personal experience, the Civil Rights Movement, and years of mentorship, Giden encourages readers of every generation to answer the call to create positive change in their own communities. What difference can you make right where you are today?
Sid Shroyer will be signing When Once Destroyed, a moving blend of memoir and local history that tells the story of Somerset, an Indiana town lost to progress. Through personal reflection and careful research, Shroyer preserves the memory of a community that refuses to be forgotten while inviting readers to consider a timeless question: What is the true cost of progress - and who gets to decide?
Authors will be available to chat, sign books, and meet readers from 6-8 p.m.
Whether you're taking a break from the competition or simply looking for your next great read, make Fables Books part of your August First Fridays adventure. No registration is required - just stop in and say hello!
