Some must-see authors will be visiting New Canaan this Fall. On Wednesday, yes next Wednesday, Jed Rubenfeld will be here at the Library in our first Fall Authors on Stage event at 7:30 in the Lamb Room. But wait, until you see the Lamb Room...during the summer months we've been painting and carpeting (some flooding early in July made this a priority for the Library) and will be ready to present our new Adrian Lamb Room in September. Early in the spring all of the A-V equipment was upgraded in order to improve visual presentation and sound in the auditorium. This was funded by a generous gift of the Friends of the Library. Now the room is ready for action and we have some exciting programs. On September 12th at 10:00 am, Philippa Gregory is returning to the Library. She spoke last September to a full-house and was gracious enought to make another stop in New Canaan. What a week! Mary-Ann Tirone Smith will be joining us at our kick-off for the Friend's Brown-Bag Book Talk on Wednesday, September 13th at 12:00 noon. An Italian feast will be provided for lunch by the Friends of the Library. Our Library events are free and open to as many as we can fit but remember it helps to sign-up. If we run out of room, those who sign-up have priority. Just call (203) 594-5003 or e-mail clahey@newcanaanlibrary.org. But back to our BIG WEEK in September. Then we have Brian Morton who has a new novel, Breakable You which has just been released. He's written

The Dylanist, Starting out in the Evening and A Window Across the River. Next, I am so pleased that we have Pulitzer Prize Winning Author Edward P. Jones here for his new book, All Aunt Hagar's Children on Friday, September 15th at 11:00 am. . Book Groups avidly read his book, The Known World. On Monday, September 18th at 7:00 pm Stuart Hauser author of Out of the Woods: Tales of Resilient Teens will be joining us. Parents of teens should be especially interested in his talk.

And this is only the beginning....remember that when you go Beyond the Best Seller.
