Librarians from the St. Johns County Public Library System have developed this list of our community’s most sought fiction authors. We will receive all new hardcover titles from these authors, so there’s no need for a purchase recommendation.
To help us provide better, more efficient service, we request that library users watch the online catalog for new titles by these authors to appear.
These titles are cataloged approximately three months prior to release.
