The Literary Lions Gala is the King County Library System Foundation’s premier annual fundraising event. It attracts more than 750 business leaders, literacy advocates, and library supporters to a festive evening highlighting local authors and celebrating the richness of our literary tradition in the Pacific Northwest.

This event is made possible by the support of generous corporate and community sponsors who believe in the mission of the KCLS Foundation and the importance of libraries. Your tax-deductible corporate sponsorship of the Literary Lions Gala helps create new library programs and brings innovative and creative ideas to the people of King County. 

The available sponsorship levels and benefits are detailed below.  For more information or to start your sponsorship, please contact:
