The Library Foundation is delighted to announce that Bob Woodward, author and investigative journalist with the Washington Post will be our guest speaker at the 8th Annual Author Luncheon on February 10, 2020 at the Sarasota Municipal Auditorium.  Thank you to the Community Foundation of Sarasota County for being our Presenting Sponsor in 2020.

Woodward has been a recipient of nearly every major American journalism award and has authored or co-authored nearly two dozen books in the past 35 years.  All of those books have been national bestsellers and 12 of them have been number one national nonfiction bestsellers – more national nonfiction bestsellers than any contemporary author.
The Annual Author Luncheon is the Library Foundation’s only fundraiser.   Since its inception in 2012, more than one million in net proceeds has been raised to support Library Foundation operations, programs and endowments for children’s literacy, and sustainability.  In 2020, the Luncheon will support our Creation Stations Program.
