Sanibel Public Library Foundation says “Thank You!” for another successful Lunch with the Author
The Sanibel Public Library Foundation hosted a luncheon with author Elinor Lipman on March 12, 2018. This was the seventh annual Lunch with the Author event which directly supports the work of the Sanibel Public Library Foundation to enhance and enrich your library experience.
Sanibel Public Library is undergoing an extensive renovation. While the quality of the structure are outstanding, the infrastructure was in need of replacement and upgrading. The interior of the building is also being reconfigured to a more user-centered service design with an emphasis on flexibility. Proceeds from the luncheon will help to furnish several new quiet reading areas. For more information about the Foundation or to make a donation, call the Library at (239) 472-2483.
To be added to the mailing list for next year’s luncheon: email: authorluncheon at comcast.net or call (239) 214-0088

About the Author:
People magazine has christened Elinor Lipman “the diva of dialogue.” On Turpentine Lane is her latest novel. In a New York Times review Michelle Wildgen writes, “Light and tight, On Turpentine Lane is constructed with an almost scary mastery.” Lipman’s first novel, Then She Found Me, was made into a movie with Helen Hunt and Bette Midler. Other works include The Inn at Lake Devine, The Family Man and The View from Penthouse B.
