Introducing, Booked for Lunch: Supporting Manatee Libraries 2025

The Library Foundation of Manatee County is thrilled to announce our return to in-person author events this spring!

​

Join us on Friday, April 4th, 2025, at the GROVE ballroom in Lakewood Ranch for a special luncheon celebrating and supporting Manatee County's wonderful public library system.

​

While guests enjoy a beautiful lunch prepared by GROVE, our Library Services Manager, Tammy Parrott, will moderate a fireside chat with our special guest, Jenna Bush Hager. Attendees will also have an opportunity to get a photo with and/or a book signed by Jenna at the conclusion of the luncheon.

​

Jenna is a best-selling author, correspondent, humanitarian, and host of TODAY with Jenna and Friends. We’re so happy to have her join us in support of our public libraries.

​

This event is officially SOLD OUT! We are incredibly grateful for the enthusiasm and support from our community.

​

A heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsors—this event would not have been possible without you! Your investments help ensure a brighter future for our libraries and our community.
