If you like feasts and libraries (and writers) then come to Lafayette Library for the Authors Feast. It’s a fundraising dinner, and you need to buy tickets in advance. I did an event at this library last year, and it’s a beautiful space run by cool, engaged people. Here’s the list of writers attending, including some I’m hoping to carpool with:

• Marta Acosta
• Katrina Alcorn
• Molly Antopol
• Kim Bancroft
• Tom Barbash
• Chris Benton
• Joseph Di Prisco
• Lou Fancher
• Mary Ellen Hannibal
• Delphine Hirasuna
• Scott Hutchins
• Mollie Katzen
• Patricia Klaus & Shirley Streshinsky
• Joe Loya
• Wendy MacNaughton
• Joyce Maynard
• Erin Lindsay McCabe
• Marissa Moss
• Caroline Paul
• Linda Lee Peterson
