Live at the Library

Live at the Library
In a rural community, world-class literary experiences are rare, yet deeply desired. The McCall Public Library Foundation created Live at the Library to meet that need.
This annual event brings nationally and internationally recognized writers to McCall for intimate public conversations.
Culture, Connection, and Possibility
Live at the Library affirms a simple truth: rural communities deserve access to the same caliber of ideas and creative voices as major cities.
Live at the Library sparks curiosity, inspires readers and writers, and creates moments of connection last long after the event ends.
Live at the Library is made possible through donor and sponsor support, helping keep ticket prices accessible while bringing extraordinary authors to McCall.
Featured Authors
Sold-out events have shown the community’s enthusiasm for literary programming of the highest caliber. Past guests have included:
- Anthony Doerr

Donor Voices
I’m a proud supporter because the McCall Public Library is far more than stacks of books…it is a community hub and epicenter of knowledge. Our library provides services, programs, and resources that serve every resident and visitor’s interests, uniting and strengthening our community like no other space can.
