The Nick Linn Lecture Series is the main fundraiser for Friends of the Library. The 2023 season will be the twentieth 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.
