Congratulations, Katherine!

Congratulations to Katherine Eberline, Children’s Services Coordinator, who was selected as the 2009 New Librarian of the Year by the South Dakota Library Association. Be sure to congratulate her the next time you see her.

She was cited for her exceptional programming, community involvement, and spirit of enthusiasm for her work. Always eager to help children in any way possible, she relates well to young people, caregivers, and others, resulting in a very successful year-around program.

Children participating in the Library’s summer reading program the past few years will recall the colorful hairstyles she has worn as a result of young people meeting registration goals. This year's colors are evident in the photo as she receives her award.

Katherine has been the Children’s Services Coordinator at the Library for six years and it's been great fun.
