It’s finally here, and just in time for Christmas! Last year, a green bookworm slithered into the elementary schools, walked in the parade, and performed a rap song asking all the community members to give a nickel for every year of their age so the Library could buy a bookmobile for the city. People gave very generously, and the result is that we had just enough to purchase a vehicle that will soon be a familiar sight in Pocatello, taking books to people all over town.
So now it’s time to celebrate! Come to the library on Saturday, December 19, 2009, from 2:00 until 4:00 p.m. to welcome the arrival of Pocatello’s new Bookmobile! Everyone who gave a nickel (or any other amount)---or even anyone who will use this exciting service is invited to come to Bookmobile Party! We will have punch and cookies, music, smiling faces, and even a treat for the children! Most of all, you can see our beautiful new vehicle, the Library’s gift to the community.

Kim Hirning Wins Friend of the Year
Kim Hirning is the recipient of the 2009 Idaho Library Association Friend of the Year Award. One may ask what makes her shine above other volunteers. Here are just a few examples: It was her time and energy that made it possible for the whole city of Pocatello to join together to read Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson. Kim brought the Big Read to Pocatello in October of 2008. It was her idea from the start and once she began the process she made it a priority to see it through to the end. I admire the enthusiasm, determination and love that she has for reading, her community, and her library.
She hasn’t stopped there. She continues to support our library with fundraising projects for a bookmobile and continues to serve with the Friends of the Marshall Public Library. She has so many brilliant ideas I often wonder what she will think of next. She is more than just a friend to our library, she is a part of it!

Gene's Retirement
After close to 36 years of providing service to various elements of the public, I have decided it is time to retire. Overall, I have had a rewarding and successful career. I enjoyed providing assistance to scientists at the INL in various fields of physics, chemistry, chemical engineering,radioactive waste management and other areas so they could accomplish their goals. After being laid off at the INL, I worked in the Idaho Falls Public Library in the Reference Department for a year before accepting my current position in circulation at the Marshall Public Library. I began this career with a lot of frustration because of being laid off. A big shock was that I now had to work with the general public, not just a highly educated segment. A further adjustment was that I was the only male employee, except for the director. I always felt slow in adjusting to this new environment, but the circulation staff was patient and encouraging. I have enjoyed being associated with the entire staff, especially at circulation. I will continue to see you at times because I plan to begin reading again and working on a family project. I will miss all of you, but it is time.
Gene A. Giesbrecht, Circulation Librarian
Gene has worked at the Marshall Public Library for five years and prior to that for 30 years at the INL Library. He will retire on November 30 after over three decades of library service. You will be missed by all, Gene!
