Centennial Fund Calling for Wellesley Authors

Are you a Wellesley author?  Do you know someone who is?

To commemorate its Silver Anniversary.  The Wellesley Free Library Centennial Fund will host a Wellesley Authors' Reception on April 15th to pay tribute to the exciting diversity of talent found right here in our hometown.  We want to identify Wellesley's authors, poets, illustrators, and playwrights so that we can invite them to this gala evening.

It's a little-known fact that the Centennial Fund was born at a Wellesley Authors' Reception 25 years ago, when a local author created the Fund to "enrich and enhance" the library's collection. For over 25 years, the generous contributions of townspeople have allowed the Fund to donate $866,000 to the Library, ensuring the depth and richness of the collection.

Authors -- please send your name, address, e-mail address, and the Names of your publications to administration email or Centennial Fund Authors Receptions, c/o Wellesley Free Library, 530 Washington Street, Wellesley, MA 02482
