Held each April, the Authors Gala raises critical funds to enrich our two Walnut Creek libraries.
The Authors Gala is WCLF’s most important fundraiser of the year and unites authors and supporters for an evening filled with engaging conversations, cocktails, a silent auction, a wine raffle, and a delightful sit-down dinner featuring an impressive lineup of authors.
You will gather with community and business leaders while supporting our two public libraries in Walnut Creek and the Walnut Creek Library Foundation.
If you are interested in supporting our public libraries, complete the form below. You can also email joanna@wclibrary.org or call (925) 935-5395.
