The Kent District Library has partnered with the Meijer Frederik Gardens & Sculpture to host the Literary Libations Gala on Sept. 16.
The event includes cocktails, dinner, and personal reflections for four best selling authors.

Peter Heller, the best-selling author of “The River” whose most recent book is “The Guide.”
Catherine Coulter, an author best known for her romantic suspense thrillers and historical romances. Her next book “Vortex: An FBI Thriller” is expected in August.
Christopher Cosmos, a Grand Rapids author who graduated from the University of Michigan. His debut novel is “Once We Were Here,” a story about the Greek Resistance in World War II.
Literary Libations is from 6 – 8 p.m. at the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, 1000 E. Beltline NE. This year’s program’s fundraising goal is to support the KDL youth poetry programs.
