Description
The Lit Gala is a highly anticipated event hosted by the Montclair Free Public Library Foundation every other year. This year, our hosts will be actor Patrick Wilson and television producer George Oliphant. We will be honoring two of the library's community partners: Hackensack Meridian's Mountainside Medical Center and Margot Sage-EL (owner of Watchung Booksellers). There will be valet parking, cocktails, dinner, and an auction.
This event will draw around 250 people in attendance. All proceeds will benefit the library's C.O.R.E. programs: community, outrach, research, and education.
