Three local authors shared their experiences with an enthusiastic audience.  The annual fundraising dinner supports the work of the Library Foundation

Three local authors were guests and featured speakers at the Stanislaus Library Foundation’s annual Authors Garden Gala fundraising event on Saturday, Sept. 22.  All proceeds benefitted children’s programs at the library’s 13 branches countywide, including the Summer Reading program, which serves more than 10,000 school-age children each year.
Jeff Jardine (“Home to the Brave: Remembrances of War Brought Home to One Small Dot on a Map”), Ken White (“Touchstones: Life and Times of Modesto”) and Paula Treick DeBoard, author of four books including “Here We Lie” (2018) discussed the writing process and ways living in The Central Valley have influenced their work.

“The Gala is the Foundation’s primary annual fundraiser,” said Board Co-Chair Pat Portwood. “Guests enjoyed a sumptuous meal and heard three very accomplished and well-known local authors while they enjoyed an elegant evening in a lovely, intimate garden setting.”

The evening included a live auction for a dozen high-value items; 100% of the proceeds went directly to the library for various children’s and enrichment programs.
