Opus & Olives is an annual fundraiser put on by The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library and brings in high caliber authors to feature and sign their newest books. This is a gala of a different color, focused on literature and storytelling.
This year's featured authors were Mary Roach, Faith Salie, Candice Millard, Terry McMillan, and Nadia Hashimi.
When you arrive you were greeted by live music and an epic martini bar.
The night kicks-off with author signings and drinks and apps.
It was so fun seeing young readers and their stacks of books!

It was one sweet evening!
