The James V. Brown Library in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, will hold its 19th annual Author Gala on October 13, 2022. This year’s featured speaker is best-selling author Elin Hilderbrand and once again we expect this to be an event attended by more than 250 people.

The Author Gala is the Library’s only fundraising event. As part of the festivities that evening, we will hold an online silent auction, which we expect to result in a significant portion of the funds raised.

This exciting event is the library’s main fundraiser each year. Typically held in the fall, the Gala is an evening full of fun and laughter for a good cause – your public library!

The Gala funds support the library’s mission of being the place to go to learn, connect and grow, and help the library offer programming for all ages.
