Inside a Starry Night for the New York Public Library's Most Ferocious Lions

It’s said that there are more than 45 million texts in the New York Public Library’s collection, but on Thursday, May 16 it was one specific title-the recently released Doing Justice by former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara-being honored.

The occasion was the spring President’s Council Dinner at the NYPL’s Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, co-chaired by Louise Grunwald, Beth and Chris Kojima, and Gayfryd Steinberg. The evening was for a select group of library boosters who have, over the past two decades, raised more than $56 million in support of the institution, and features cocktails, a conversation between Bharara and journalist Graydon Carter, and a seated dinner.
