The Guilded Leaf – Carmel, Indiana

The Guilded Leaf is the signature annual fundraising event of the Carmel Clay Public Library Foundation Guild. It brings bestselling authors to the Carmel community to meet readers, share their work, and celebrate the power of books.

Funds raised from the event directly support the library’s programs for all ages. The Guilded Leaf typically spans two days and features:

• Book & Author Evening – a celebratory event with featured authors, presentations, and a silent auction.

• Luncheon – one of the Foundation’s largest annual fundraisers, offering readers the chance to connect more closely with the authors.

Past lineups have included acclaimed authors such as Jeffrey Chad Beguelin, Jeffrey Blount, Rea Frey, Madeline Martin, Dawn Tripp, and Beatriz Williams.
