Literary Lions

A record audience of 320 guests attended the Literary Lions Gala, March 8, at the Bellevue Regional Library. Emcee Nancy Pearl and keynote speaker Timothy Egan endorsed the value of libraries in their presentations. Thirty talented Northwest authors attended the event, and guests purchased books, literary silent auction items, and supported the KCLS Foundation. Timothy Egan said, “I loved that evening! But what was not to like: good food, good wine, good cause, good people, all joined by a love of books.”
