Authors Luncheon

Happy Authors Luncheon 2006 Attendee with her new purchases in line for authors' signing.

See more scenes from Authors Luncheon 2006 Since 2001 we have sponsored our signature literary event, the annual Authors Luncheon. Held in November at the Clubhouse at Rancho Solano, the Luncheon celebrates literacy and reading by inviting well-known and emerging authors to talk about their work. Proceeds from the Luncheon help underwrite our commitment to Reach Out and Read and other Library programs.

Over the years the event's popularity has increased, with the Authors Luncheon 2006 attracting a sold-out crowd of over 400. A sampling of past authors includes: Lisa See, Anne lamott, John Lescroart, and State Librarian Emeritus, Dr. Kevin Starr; children's authors Jonathan London, Rosemary Wells, and Daniel San Souci; cookbook authors Alice Medrich, Annie Roberts, Margrit Biever Mondavi, and Judy Rogers; and local authors Fern Henry and David Corbett.
