The Broward Public Library Foundation Presents 25 Years
of Literary Feast
The 25th edition of
Literary Feast, a well-known community event that has brought more than 365 authors to Broward County since it began in 1988, will once again celebrate books and authors at a series of events from March 15-18, 2013. Last year, the
Broward Public Library Foundation raised more than $130,000 at Literary Feast to support both children's and adult literacy programs and services for the Broward County Library.
Twenty-one authors, including Lee Woodruff, Bob Spitz and best-selling mystery writers Tess Gerritsen and Meg Gardiner will attend this year's event. South Florida's Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Dave Barry will be featured exclusively on Sunday, March 17 at Feast's Night Out poolside at the Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty-Six.
During the four-day festival, the Literary Feast authors will speak to donors, students and South Florida's book-loving community at events including the free LitLIVE! on Sunday, March 17 at the Nova Southeastern Alvin Sherman Library, Research, and Information Technology Center.
