The Broward Public Library Foundation will celebrate its 15th annual LitLUNCH! event on Friday, February 21, 2025. This year’s featured speaker is Susan Page, a New York Times bestselling author and the Washington Bureau Chief of USA Today. Page will discuss her latest biography, The Rulebreaker: The Life and Times of Barbara Walters (Simon & Schuster, April 2024). This inspiring luncheon offers South Florida residents a unique chance to connect with a dynamic author and celebrate the joy of literature.
LitLUNCH! kicks off at 11 a.m. in the Aviva Ballroom at the newly renovated Pier Sixty-Six in Fort Lauderdale, 2301 SE 17th St. Guests will enjoy a complimentary glass of wine upon arrival, followed by book signings, exciting raffle drawings, a multi-course luncheon and an engaging presentation by the featured author. Serving as the opening event for the Library Foundation’s Literary Feast, LitLUNCH! sets the stage for an exciting series that continues with LitLIVE! on Friday, March 28, and A Night of Literary Feasts on Saturday, March 29, both showcasing a dozen bestselling authors.
Tickets for LitLUNCH! are now available, with options for Premium Tables and sponsorships. Individual tickets cost $150, which includes a signed copy of The Rulebreaker. Proceeds benefit Broward County Library literacy programs and services, proudly supported by the Broward Public Library Foundation.
The first-ever LitLUNCH! took place in 2010 at the iconic Pier Top Lounge of Pier Sixty-Six. The Broward Public Library Foundation is excited to return to the newly reopened resort for this special event.
“It feels like a homecoming bringing LitLUNCH! back to Pier Sixty-Six,” says long-time LitLUNCH! co-chair Laurie Menekou Ernest-Jones. “The beauty of this new and improved event space will perfectly complement our continued celebration of literature and community. I can’t wait to make new LitLUNCH! memories with everyone who attends this event in support of the Foundation.”
