On Saturday, August 13, 2022 at 5pm, the East Hampton Library will present its 18th Annual Authors Night fundraiser under a grand tent on the Herrick Park Field. One of the most popular and celebrity-studded events of the Hamptons’ summer calendar, Authors Night features 100 authors across all genres. The “Premier Literary Event of the Hamptons” has grown over its history to become one of the most successful celebrations of books and authors in America, and one of the largest library-author events of its kind in the country.
HONORARY CO-CHAIRS: Carl Bernstein, Tina Brown, Robert A. Caro, Katie Couric, Nelson DeMille, Tia Williams
“As we mark the 18th anniversary of Authors Night and a return to our full, in-person event format, we’re thrilled to also announce a return to presenting the event once again in the heart of East Hampton Village,” said Dennis Fabiszak, East Hampton Library Director. “We’re thankful to the East Hampton Village Board for facilitating the use of Herrick Park for Authors Night and grateful for the outstanding generosity, participation, and support for the event that we continue to receive from both the local and literary communities. The funds raised at Authors Night enable the Library to provide our diverse community with essential programming and services throughout the year—all free of charge.”
