BookMania! Hiatus in 2025

The Library Foundation of Martin County, Inc.

For over 25 years, the Martin County Library System and The Library Foundation of Martin County have celebrated BookMania! as a way to connect our community of readers with hundreds of authors. Since the coronavirus pandemic, we have had a decrease in both participation and book sales. So for 2025, we plan to take a hiatus from BookMania! to investigate new ways we can reach readers while attracting robust book sales for the nationally recognized authors who participate. We appreciate your patience in this break and look forward to future possibilities!

BookMania! has hosted 468 emerging and best-selling authors since its inception, attracting participants from all over the United States. Here is our author selection criteria.
