Friends of the Library's 52nd Annual Book & Author Program
Friday, May 14, 2021 at Noon

For the first time our Book & Author program, the FOL's sole fundraising event, will be held virtually via the Zoom platform. Program Moderator Susan Isaacs, Port’s own best-selling novelist, will introduce our featured author, and FOL president Amy Bass will serve as emcee. Cost is $50 per person.

About Geraldine Brooks

Geraldine Brooks is the acclaimed author of five novels: the Pulitzer Prize-winning March; and the international bestsellers Caleb’s Crossing, People of the Book, The Secret Chord, and Year of Wonders: A Novel of the Plague. The latter tracks a housemaid’s perseverance and heroism as the bubonic plague overtakes a British village in 1666.

Brooks told the FOL: “My remarks will primarily focus on Year of Wonders, which I wrote 20 years ago, never dreaming that we would be facing a pandemic in our lifetime. I will also share some thoughts about my new novel due to be published early next year.”

Due to unforeseen circumstances, author Blake Bailey will no longer be participating in the Book & Author Program.

We are happy to announce that every registered attendee will be entered into afree drawingfor a $1,000 gift certificate to the Americana Manhasset.

Thank you for supporting the event and the FOL.
