The Sanibel Public Library provides a variety of programming for adults and children.

With support from the Sanibel Public Library Foundation, the library has launched a series of virtual author talks to include bestselling authors and thought leaders. The next one will take place on March 6 at 4 p.m. with NPR legal affairs correspondent and New York Times bestseller Nina Totenberg. She will talk about her nearly 50-year friendship with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her book, “Dinners With Ruth: A Memoir on the Power of Friendships.”

Totenberg appears on NPR’s newsmagazines All Things Considered, Morning Edition and Weekend Edition and on NPR podcasts, including “The NPR Politics Podcast” and its series, “The Docket.” Her Supreme Court and legal coverage has won her every major journalism award in broadcasting. Recognized seven times by the American Bar Association for continued excellence in legal reporting, Totenberg has received over two dozen honorary degrees. A frequent TV contributor, she writes for major newspapers, magazines and law reviews.

A question-and-answer session with the author will follow.
