March 1, 2022 – In an unprecedented event, the Council of Friends of Lancaster County’s Public Libraries has arranged for two NYTimes best-selling authors to appear on stage at the same time! Adriana Trigiani and Chris Bohjalian will share one stage to benefit public libraries. This unique event will be moderated by Scott LaMar, WITF’s Smart Talk host, who will have a conversation with both authors at the same time. This conversational format follows three of our past events and was very popular with attendees.
