The lawn of the Longboat Library was bustling with more than just book fans on Jan. 27.

The library’s volunteers hosted a new event, L’Art Festival, on Saturday afternoon that included displays from local artists and crafters. From jewelry and clay to books and photographs, various types of merchandise was available for purchase, with a part of the proceeds going back to the library.

Library visitors sipped on wine and enjoyed hors d’oeuvres while mingling throughout the lawn and library perusing various artwork.

Vendor participants including authors Pat Gussin and Jane Webb, artists Sam Gibbon and Sandi Norwicki, clay artist Regina Gurland, photographer Mary Lou Johnson and jewelry designer Sue Reese.
