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!
