A Secret Garden Party to Honor Michael Cart

Sunday, April 20, 2008 3 - 5 p.m.

          Held in a beautiful north Fresno garden, where shady paths lead to secret hideaways and surprises, the party honors Michael Cart, whose newest book is Passions and Pleasures: Essays and Speeches about Literature and Libraries. Funds raised will support the purchase of unique or rare items for the Center's collection, including original art by Leonard Weisgard for the Lewis Carroll collection.
