450 guests, including authors Harper Barnes and Richard Burgin and former American Idol contestant Nikko Smith (who all moonlighted as celebrity bartenders), assembled in the Great Hall of the Central Library for cocktails and conversation; the party raised $40,000 to fund "Homework Helpers," the library's after-school tutoring program.
