Literary Luncheons

Friends of the Library is proud to present the 23rd Annual Literary Luncheon Series for 2010 – 2011. This lecture and lunch series is brought to you with financial support from HarVest Bank of Maryland and the Arts & Humanities Council of Montgomery County.

We bring in authors from all walks of life, and it’s a wonderful way to meet new people and catch up with friends.  The programs are held in the intimate setting of the Mansion at Strathmore located in North Bethesda.  Lectures start promptly at 11:30 a.m. on Thursdays of the below dates.  A catered boxed lunch is served immediately following the lecture.  Books are available to purchase and for signing. To sign up for individual lectures or the entire series, use the buttons below, or call the Friends office at (240) 777-0020.
