New Canaan Library hosted more than 150 book lovers at the Spring Edition author talk and lunch on May 22, featuring Vanessa Chan, author of The Storm We Made. As a tribute to Chan’s heritage and the novel’s setting, Marcia Selden Caterers served a Malaysian-inspired lunch under a tent on the Anderson Terrace. Christine Noyer Seaver, Vice President of the New Canaan Library Board of Trustees, was honored for her outstanding service to the library. Proceeds from the luncheon benefit New Canaan Library’s Annual Fund. newcanaanlibrary.org
