Where: Hilton Vancouver
Tickets: $125
Pine Siskin, Anna’s Hummingbird, Dark-Eyed Junco. These are a few of the birds that passed through Amy Tan’s backyard and sparked her curiosity to begin observing, journaling, and sketching her newfound neighbors. Best known as the author of The Joy Luck Club, Tan’s recent book The Backyard Bird Chronicles gives us an intimate peek into her journey into bird conservation.
We are excited to announce that this October, you’re invited to spend an evening with Tan at the FVRL Foundation’s annual Authors & Illustrators dinner! Join fellow book and library lovers for a reception, dinner, and auction before settling in to hear Tan share how a backyard full of birds forever changed the way she sees the world.
Every ticket supports the mission of FVRLibraries, from advocacy and capital projects to the programs that make our libraries such vital gathering places for our community. It’s a night that celebrates what we love most: great stories, great company, and the libraries that bring us together.
Tickets will go on sale in summer 2026. Sign up for FVRL Foundation's newsletter to get more information about ticket sales >
