The Young Lions of The Fort Worth Public Library Foundation were 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. And by limiting membership to those individuals 40 and under, we guarantee a level of enthusiasm not found in many organizations around town.

The Young Lions provide opportunities for the next generation of community leaders to meet in social and educational settings and encourage new friendships across the city. As members gather to share ideas, interest and fun the public library can once again become the cultural center of Fort Worth.
