The Literary Lions Gala welcomed 425 guests, authors and volunteers to the popular event on March 6, 2010 at the Bellevue Library. The event was a “literary feast” featuring an array of fine food and wine, a book-themed silent auction and opportunities to talk with 35 talented Northwest authors. Keynote speaker and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Russo spoke about the importance of libraries in presenting youth with new ideas and information and the value of reading of reading in his life and profession and emcee Nancy Pearl focused on the joy of reading and supporting libraries.
