During the month of December the Marshall Public Library will be open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. “This change will allow us to complete needed projects and training during December that we might not have time for otherwise,” said Mike Doellman, library director.
The library will be closed for the holidays on December 24 and 25, 2009, and on January 1, 2010. The library will resume its regular hours of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday and Saturday, on January 2, 2010.

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.
