The Nashville Public Library Foundation is honored to announce John Irving as the recipient of the 2008 Nashville Public Library Literary Award. John Irving will accept this award during a black-tie fundraising gala organized by the Nashville Public Library Foundation. The Nashville Public Library Literary Award was first given in 2004 to recognize distinguished authors and other individuals for their contributions to the world of books and reading. Each year the award brings an outstanding individual to Nashville to honor his or her achievements, to benefit the library and to promote books, literacy and reading. The award is presented at the annual Gala and carries with it a substantial honorarium. The 2004-2007 Nashville Public Libary Literary Award winners were David Halberstam, David McCullough, John Updike and Ann Patchett, respectively. The 2007 Gala was a sellout, raising more than $250,000 in support of the preschool literacy program, Bringing Books to Life!, more children's programming at the Main Library and art exhibits in the library's gallery spaces.
