More than 650 eager attendees gathered in the Sarasota Municipal Auditorium Feb. 10 for the Library Foundation for Sarasota County's eighth annual author luncheon.
This year's event — which sold out in November — had author and investigative journalist Bob Woodward speaking about his latest book "Fear: Trump in the White House" and the state of investigative journalism today. The morning started with a VIP reception in the Sarasota Art Center where guests took photos with Woodward and had copies of his book signed. Following that, attendees sat for a salmon lunch and to hear from Woodward himself.
