Introducing, Booked for Lunch: Supporting Manatee Libraries 2025

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

​

Join us on Friday, April 4th, 2025 at GROVE ballroom in Lakewood Ranch for a 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 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 Hoda and Jenna. We're so happy to have her join us in support of our public libraries.

​

We are deeply grateful to our sponsors, without whom this event would not have been possible! Their investments have helped to ensure a brighter future for our libraries, and moreover, our community.

​

Tickets for the event will go on sale before the end of January. Sign up for our newsletter to be the first to know!
