Paul Martone, the Executive Director of
Late Night Library, is always searching for new ways to make the book culture more exciting in Portland. He currently has
podcasts that debut authors not only from Portland, but also from around the country. Martone has always been dedicated to helping authors that are in the early stages of their careers, which is why he founded Late Night Library.
Late Night Library is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to sustaining book culture, promoting literature in schools and communities, and supporting writers. This nonprofit began back in 2011.

This event will host a mix of local and visiting literary and musical talent such as Chelsea Cain, Arthur Bradford, Ayron Jones and the Way, Ben Percy and Arisa White. The benefit will also help fund various programs for Late Night Library.

The Heathman Hotel
The Heathman Hotel was constructed in 1926 in downtown Portland for hotelier George Heathman. The eleven-story hotel is located at the north end of the South Park Blocks and was joined by the New Heathman Hotel in 1927.
The hotel was designed by Portland architecture firm Claussen and Claussen and is clad in tapestry brick, finished in terra cotta trim. The two Heathman Hotels were among 184 new buildings, 38 of which were hotels, constructed in downtown Portland between 1915 and 1931. Today less than half of the 184 buildings remain.
The hotel was closed in the 1980's for building code violations and was then sold and modernized as affordable housing.
