Broward Public Library Foundation to Host Annual Literary Feast

Twelve nationally known authors, including James Grippando, Alvin Hall, Matthew Quick and Deanna Raybourn, will be this year’s special guests at the Broward Public Library Foundation’s 34th annual Literary Feast 2023.


Literary Feast Chairs Amanda Doering and Beth Malkin are working with more than 30 volunteers and generous dinner hosts to make this event a success.


On Friday evening March 31, the authors will speak on panels about their books and the writing process during LitLIVE!, an event open to the public at the Barnes & Noble, 2051 N. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale. The Fiction panel, moderated by Gail Bulfin, will be held from 5:30 to 6:15; the Mystery panel, moderated by Oline Cogdill, will be from 6:30 to 7:15 p.m.; and the Nonfiction panel, moderated by Mim Harrison, will be from 7:30 to 8:15 p.m. Authors will sign books purchased that night, with a portion of the sales benefiting the Library Foundation.
