Susan Orlean Among Featured Authors at the Gala Author Toast
Susan Orlean will be among featured
authors at United for Libraries' Gala Author
Toast, sponsored by ReferenceUSA, from 2:00
- 4:00 p.m. on Monday, June 25 at the ALA
Annual Conference & Exhibition.
Orlean's forthcoming The Library Book
tells the story of the 1986 Central Library
fire in Los Angeles, an event she uses as a lens
through which to tell the story of all libraries - their history, their meaning, and their
future as they adapt and redefine themselves
in a digital world - in a book that is ultimately
a love letter to libraries and their central role
in society.
The Gala Author Toast sponsored by Reference USA, will also feature Taylor Jenkins
Reid, Lou Berney, and Leif Enger. Raise a glass
to celebrate these writers - festive beverages
and light snacks will be served. A book signing
will follow. United for Libraries will recognize

the winners of the Baker & Taylor Awards at
this program.
Orlean has been a staff writer at The New
Yorker since 1992. She is the author of seven
books, including Rin Tin Tin, Saturday Night,
and The Orchid Thief, which was made into the
Academy Award-winning film "Adaptation."
Reid is the author of One True Loves, Maybe
in Another Life, After I Do, Forever, Interrupted,
and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
Berney is the author of Gutshot Straight,
Whiplash River, and multiple prize-winning
