This fall marks the 26th season of Author! Author! at Our Lady 0f the Elms. In 1987  the Elms Alumnae Association inaugurated a three session book and author luncheon/lecture/signing series.  The program gave national and local authors the forum to speak to avid readers in the Akron area.

The series has hosted more than  120 well-known authors and has hosted an audience of more than  325 constituents per venue for years.  In addition the series has raised more than $450,000 in scholarship dollars for young women to receive an Elms education.  Scholarship dollars are raised through patron tickets, sponsorships, and book sales.
