Author Visit: Randi Smith

Stop by anytime between 5-7 pm to speak with local author Randi Smith about her debut young adult novel, Ada Holloway's Had Enough, about a teen who decides to fight back against book bans by starting a banned book club at her local library. This book serves to aid readers who want a tool that's both entertaining and educational, a way to encourage tough and often intergenerational conversations about mentorship, advocacy, and the fight for intellectual freedom. 

Randi Smith is a born-and-raised Kentuckian who still calls the Bluegrass State her home. She first discovered her love of writing after self-publishing a short novel in high school, which inspired her to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Publishing from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. She currently lives in her hometown with her many rescue cats. When she isn’t trying to meet her word count goal, she works at her local library. Besides her passion for all things reading and writing, Randi is an avid lover of astronomy, orcas, and the color purple. Find her at randismithwrites.com.
