Young Literati's 2nd Annual Toast was a huge success!
The Annual Toast welcomed 200 library fans and supporters to Track 16 Gallery to sip cocktails, view Robbie Conal's 25 year retrospective, and listen to a few of LA's best creative minds read from their favorite written words.
 
The event brought in close to $46,000 and proceeds will be directed to the Mar Vista Branch Library, the recipient of this year's Young Literati fundraising endeavors.
