TORONTO PUBLIC LIBRARY FOUNDATION
BOOK LOVER’S BALL
THE STORY
The Book Lover’s Ball is an annual black-tie fundraiser that brings together Canada’s top literary talent with book lovers, city builders and social influencers. The glamourous evening begins with a cocktail reception hosted by a well-known celebrity chef. Guests then have the opportunity to dine with a notable author and enjoy a gourmet dinner.
The highlight of the evening is for guests to sit back and enjoy compelling interviews with selected authors and a stunning novel-inspired show based on five featured books. Each segment opens with a provocative book trailer and then launches into an entertainment segment featuring fashion and live performances.
It truly is a novel affair.
