We’re still reeling what a great time we had at our Literary Lions Luncheon in April! Thank you to everyone who joined us and supported our 2026 Literary Lions Luncheon! 🦁

We were honored to celebrate National Library Week alongside community leaders, library supporters and advocates who believe in the power of libraries to connect, inspire and strengthen our communities.

A special thank you to keynote speaker Eric Klinenberg, Krys Boyd and our May Dickson Exall Award recipient, Atmos Energy, for helping make this year’s luncheon such a meaningful and memorable event.

Your support helps champion the future of our libraries, and we are so grateful you were part of this incredible afternoon!
