The Nick Linn Lecture Series is the main fundraiser for Friends of the Library. The 2022 season will be the nineteenth season that guests will be able to see and hear the authors who know how to entertain our minds and spirits with words, characters and stories virtually and in-person.

Fascinating topics and authors come together at the Kensington Golf & Country Club in-season with an interested audience to discuss history, geography, sports and many other subjects with well-read authors. These events begin with a breakfast buffet and the author’s lecture follows.

New Series!  Friends of the Library is delighted to announce a new author series.  The Friends of the Library Beach Series will be held in downtown Naples at The Naples Players Sugden Community Theatre.  Come to Fifth Avenue for popular authors who will stimulate and delight you with their stories and ideas….make it a day and have lunch first at the many wonderful restaurants in Naples.

Our Signature Series is an exclusive, member-only event featuring performances and lectures. The annual Series is held at our Library auditoriums with wonderful performers and lecturers engaged to stimulate our minds and entertain us.
