Literary Cafe

The Cary Library Foundation, in partnership with Cary Library, is excited to announce the launch of an innovative new series, the Literary Cafe, in 2022. Modeled on the very popular Science Cafe, this regular series features a roundtable discussion with a wide variety of critically acclaimed authors of both fiction and nonfiction works.

The program will be led by bestselling author and Foundation Board member Marjan Kamali, author of The Stationery Shop, a national bestseller and one of NPR's books of the year, as well as The Together Tea, a Massachusetts Book Award finalist. The program's format is an hour-long conversation between Marjan and the featured speaker, which includes time for an audience question and answer session.

If you have a speaker recommendation for the Literary Cafe, please contact Mary Ellen Ringo, the Foundation's Director of Development.
