Summary
Staff previewed a December call for authors and a '1 City, 1 Book' program that includes a movie screening (Tuesday the 14th, 5:30–7:30 p.m.) and an author visit; staff said books may be distributed at the screening and on the main Saturday event but availability is 'while supplies last.'
Staff reviewed plans for a call for authors for a December book festival and described a '1 City, 1 Book' program that pairs a movie screening with an author visit and a main Saturday event.
The staff member said the movie screening is scheduled for Tuesday the 14th from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and that the main event will be on a Saturday; the screening may include a discussion with the author or a speaker. "At the movie screening, you'll be giving out books ... and at the whatever, if they have any leftover," the staff member said, noting physical book giveaways depend on supplies.
Committee members raised concerns that some promotional materials do not clearly state whether the author will attend and asked that flyers be updated to indicate author appearances and whether books are distributed at screenings or only at the main event. Staff agreed to recommend clarifying language to event flyers and to coordinate publicity with the city’s public information office and local media outlets such as KGNS and El Mañana.
Staff also explained that scheduling considerations (author travel and flight availability) inform event timing and that film licensing or copyright constraints may limit the detail organizers can include in promotional materials.
No formal action was taken; staff said they will follow up on clarifying event materials and distribution logistics.
