George Geary Bennis (1790–1866) was a writer, originally from Limerick in Ireland. At different times Bennis also worked as a grocer, a librarian and a newspaper editor. In retrospect, however, he is chiefly remembered as a prodigious book collector who bequeathed enough volumes to his native city of Limerick to form the basis of a library "for the free use of the citizens", although it would only be in 1893 that the first public library in Limerick was actually opened.
