The Library Foundation of Needham is pleased to announce that Gregory Maguire will be an honored guest at the Black, White & Read All Over Gala, to be held at the Needham Sheraton on Friday, Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. 

The gala theme this year honors readers and book clubs.  Maguire, renowned author of books for adults and children including several elaborately reimagined takes on classic fairy tales, will mingle with guests during the evening and provide a few remarks following the silent auction. 

The Library Foundation of Needham provides funding for Needham Free Public Library programs and services not covered by the town budget. The annual gala is the LFN’s primary fundraising event.
