The Friends Book and Author Luncheon is a tradition that dates back to 1981.
Over the years, we have hosted dozens of celebrated writers, including Isaac
Asimov, William F. Buckley, Jr., Gail Sheehy, Frank McCourt and Elizabeth
Strout. The luncheon is our gift to the community, an opportunity to hear
in person from the authors we love to read.
