2008 Library Laureates Dinner-Noir in the City

Friday, April 18, 2008

Local Authors Honored to Support the San Francisco Public Library at the 12th Annual Library Laureates Dinner

Noir in the City was this year's theme for the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library annual literary gala on Friday, April 18, 2008.

The 12th Annual Library Laureates event transformed the Main Library's beautiful affinity centers into intimate, conversational salons where authors and guests mingled with shady characters, gunsels and molls followed by dinner and presentations from this year's Laureates.

The dinner raised over $150,000 for the San Francisco Public Library and goes to fund children's education programs such as Summer Reading and SAT Preparation Workshops and art exhibitions.

Friends of the San Francisco Public Library would like to extend special thanks to our sponsors-Thank you for helping make our premier fundraising event possible!
