Get ready for a dazzling season of stories, insight, and inspiration! The Friends of the Key West Library are thrilled to present our 2026 Speaker Series — an all-star lineup that brings celebrated writers and thinkers right to our library’s doorstep. From memoirs and mysteries to dazzling fiction, food writing, and powerful works of journalism, this year’s series celebrates the full range of literary talent.

Mark your calendars, invite your friends, and prepare to be inspired conversations with Nicholas Boggs, Robert Fieseler, Sarah Stewart Taylor, Liv Constantine, Karen Dukess, Mirta Ojito, and Bob Rich, among others, as well as the legendary Ruth Reichl at our February 23 GALA event! These gatherings will be the literary events of the Key West winter! 

The series is held on Monday evenings from January through March, 6 to 7 p.m., in the library’s Palm Garden, beginning January 12. For full information on the speakers and dates, click here.
