Recap of Author Luncheon

I had to miss the Westchester Library System’s annual Book & Author Luncheon earlier this month, so I’m really glad they sent along a photo. These writers and the efforts of the WLS to continually provide upgraded library services to our communities always deserve recognition.
The event honors National Library Week and this year was the 17th annual one. It was at Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff Manor. Featured were four authors who each discussed their newly published books and reflected on the role libraries have played in their lives. The Luncheon was sponsored by Con Edison, Entergy, and The H.W. Wilson Foundation. State Assemblywoman Amy Paulin received the National Library Week Recognition Award for her outstanding contributions to literacy and support of the WLS.
Below are the featured authors:

Reardon, Director, Westchester Library System. Photo: courtesy of WLS.
Next year, I’m there….
