WESTPORT–The Westport Library’s 2025 StoryFest will feature a talk from Westporter Shonda Rhimes.
On Monday, October 20, the multi-award-winning television producer will take the stage at The Westport Library to celebrate the 10th anniversary of her New York Times best-selling memoir, “Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand in the Sun, and Be Your Own Person.”
Special guests will join Rhimes, who plans to share the new moments that shaped her life over the past 10 years, as well as the fears she conquered and the unexpected joy of embracing life with an open mind.
Tickets are $30 and include a signed copy of the 10th-anniversary hardcover edition of Year of Yes, which features updates and exclusive new chapters. It is the same price for one seat and a copy of the book or two seats and a book.
This event is presented by the Library in partnership with RJ Julia Booksellers of Madison, Connecticut.
“This book is the same as before, but it also is not,” said Rhimes. “It is brand new. It has changed. Transformed. Evolved. Grown. Just like me.”
StoryFest is in its eighth year; according to the library, it is the largest annual literary festival in Connecticut and one of the biggest in the Northeast. “We are thrilled to welcome Shonda Rhimes back to The Westport Library to celebrate her seminal memoir, Year of Yes,” said Bill Harmer, executive director of The Westport Library. “This book has meant so much to so many people, and Shonda has meant so much to our Library community. We can’t think of a more perfect capstone to a remarkable week of events celebrating the power of stories and storytelling.”
