From Honorary Book Ball Chair Wesley Bennett:

“Our cities set aside land, pay for the construction of buildings, and then purchase thousands of books to fill them. Not only do libraries welcome everyone to come read their books, they allow us to take dozens of them back to our homes, to enjoy for weeks at a time. With all of the time, money and effort put forth by authors, and our local government, it’s hard to believe that checking out a book is free. As a reader, it makes me feel very lucky.”

-Wesley Bennett (Author of "The Kitty of Knoxville". Native Knoxvillian, husband, and father, with a passion for travel, and live music. He lives downtown with his wife, daughter and two cats.)
