The East Hampton Library hosted their 11th Annual Authors Night Benefit, one of the nation’s leading annual literary celebrations, on Saturday night.

The event took place at a field on Maidstone Lane in East Hampton Village and all proceeds from the event benefited East Hampton Library.

Over 2,000 guests packed the event tent, to meet and mingle with over 100 authors, to buy their books, and to have their own personal copy signed.

Two dozen private dinner parties, each featuring one or more of the guest authors, hosted 600 dinner guests after the benefit.

Some of the guests included: Jeffrey Lyons, Tracey Jackson/(singer, songwriter, composer), Paul Williams, Allison Pataki, Simon Doonan, Jonathan Adler, Talia Carner, Katie Lee, Bonnie Comley, Stewart Lane, Leah Hirsch, Joel Omansky, Susan Verde, Sylvia and David Steiner (Steiner Studios), Robert Caro, East Hampton Library Director Dennis Fabiszak, Alec Baldwin, Hilaria Baldwin, and Ed Burns with Martha Gundersen, all pictured below.
