Annual Library Literary Luncheon
The Rancho Mirage Public Library has presented an Annual Author Luncheon for 16 years, bringing notable writers to Rancho Mirage for talks about their books, their writing, and the many influences they have had. Every luncheon has been marked by lively audience-author Q&A.
Beginning in 2013, the Rancho Mirage Public Library Foundation will present the second Annual Library Literary Luncheon. By broadening the world of books to include authors as well as publishers, literary agents, journalists, and more, each luncheon promises to be timely, full of information about where publishing is headed, a look at e-books, marketing and even more of the "inside" story of the world of American books.
For more information or to make reservations, please call 760-341-7323 ext. 605.

With space for over 3,000 volumes: paperbacks, hardbound, best sellers, art books, audio books, magazines and more the Book Nook is a perfect stop on your next visit. The Book Nook is the place to buy books for gifts, books for grandchildren, books for travel, and books you have wanted to read. The Book Nook is staffed by an energetic and helpful group of volunteers who love their work, their customers, and their books!
Book Nook books come directly from gifts made by generous residents. The annual overhead costs for running the Book Nook are $0. Every Book Nook purchase that you make goes directly to the Foundation for new books and media for the collection, for programming, and for the Children’s Summer Reading Club.
