The Mt. Pleasant Literary Festival will be a three day celebration of books and the literary arts, held at the Mt. Pleasant, NC Public Library Branch on April 24-26, 2025. From graphic novels to poetry, fiction to children’s literature, our festival will showcase writers, workshops, and opportunities for all ages. Headlining the festival is Craig Johnson, the New York Times bestselling author of the Walt Longmire mystery novels, which are the basis for the hit Netflix original drama series, Longmire.
What is the Society?
Bernheim Literary Society members are a special group of people who support the Mt. Pleasant Literary Festival with a monetary donation.
Why “Bernheim”?
Lisette Clayton Bernheim Hood and her father, Rev. Gotthardt Dellman Bernheim, were distinguished educators at Mont Amoena Female Seminary (1859-1927) in Mt. Pleasant, and the school’s literary society was named for the latter. Reviving the “Bernheim Literary Society” pays homage to Mt. Pleasant’s history as an educational center and “oasis of culture” and recognizes the contributions of community leaders who support learning and the arts.
