Young Literati Summer Social Heats Up

The kids may be going back to school, but the summer is not over for the Young Literati. This Saturday, the Young Literati are invited to gather in Santa Monica for a proper send-off to the season of long sunsets and frosty cocktails.

Raising their glasses to this past year of incredible support for the Los Angeles Public Library, Members will also get a sneak peek of what’s on the horizon for this dedicated group of engaged and informed Angelenos who believe in and celebrate the principles that public libraries stand for—free and equal access to information and ideas that challenge and inspire. From live music to pop-up poetry, here’s a taste of what this special night will bring:

Performances by L.A.-based soul band John Macy and the Heavy Hand.
