Join us for Richmond Public Library's annual YAVA Celebration.  Meet and mingle with your favorite Virginia young adult authors.  Ask the authors your most pressing questions and get some author signatures!  We'll have music and refreshments to enjoy as well!  Chop Suey Books will be on hand with books for purchase.

The YAVA Celebration began in 2013 as “Teen 13” and has grown over the years to now include a voting portion and author award.   To celebrate our 7th anniversary, and to welcome in the new century, we are hosting what we hope is to be an epic celebration. We’re inviting back all our former YAVA authors, from 2013-2019, to join in the fun!
