Come and meet
your favorite author at one of South Florida's premier
literary events, Literary Feast 2005! Comprising
three distinct events, Literary Feast 2005 offers
a unique mix of literary, social and educational
components. All proceeds benefit the Broward Public
Library Foundation in its efforts to provide books
and services not otherwise available to the Broward
County Library system, and the Sun-Sentinel/WB39
Children's Fund's programs for low-income children
and families with special needs. Literary Feast
is coordinated by Byblos, the special events committee
of the Broward Public Library Foundation.
NOVEL DAY
FOR STUDENTS - FRIDAY, MARCH 11
More than 3,500 students in
Broward County have an opportunity to meet an author
as they discuss the roads they have traveled and
the challenges they have faced as writers. As an
integral part of the program, a short story writing
contest with cash prizes is held in each high school.
NIGHT OF LITERARY
FEASTS - FRIDAY, MARCH 11
This extraordinary event kicks
off with a cocktail reception at the Main Library
in downtown Fort Lauderdale, where guests can purchase
the authors' latest books, meet the authors and
have their books signed while enjoying music and
cocktails, and participating in a silent literary-themed
auction. From the Library, authors and guests proceed
to private homes and elegant restaurants for dinner.
Each author is a literary guest of honor allowing
the attendees an "up close and personal"
opportunity to learn more about them.
Reservations are required for
Night of Literary Feasts as seating is limited.
Individual tickets are $150 per person or $300 per
person for preferred seating. To purchase tickets,
