The Young Lions of The Fort Worth Public Library Foundation was originally established in May 2003 to bring together a diverse and energetic group of young professionals who share a passion for the power of books and literature to enrich our lives, and who believe in a first-rate library system for our city. The Young Lions program, though very successful, disbanded in 2006. In April 2009, attorneys Dee Dee Herring and Elisa Fox came to the Foundation to express an interest in revitalizing the Young Lions program as a means to provide opportunities for the next generation of community leaders to meet in both social and educational settings and encourage new friendships across the city. By limiting membership to those individuals 45 and under, the Young Lions guarantees a level of enthusiasm not available in many organizations around the city. With this new found energy, members of the Young Lions will again gather to share ideas, interests and fun to make the public library become the cultural center of Fort Worth.
