"Welcome to the Rosamond Gifford Lecture Series, the greatest and largest library-related lecture series in the country. In 14 seasons the Friends of the Central Library have brought over 85 world-famous authors to the Central New York area to entertain and delight. Join us this October as we kick off our 15th season, a season we believe will be one of the biggest and best yet!"
