Last Wednesday, supporters gathered at The London Library for a memorable Chair’s Dinner, where guest of honour Elif Shafak joined Chair of Trustees Simon Godwin for post-dinner conversation. Speaking candidly about writing in a third language, the complexities of Turkification, and the vital role of writers in public life, Shafak offered insight, warmth and inspiration to guests.

Evenings like this are just one of the many highlights of supporting The London Library as a patron. By becoming a Patron, you help sustain the Library’s mission and enjoy invitations to distinctive gatherings of conversation, connection and literary exchange.
