The Harrison County Public Library Board of Trustees honored outgoing board President Kathy Crimans with a reception on Thursday, January 29, at Harrison County Arts. Kathy served on the Library Board for eight years as an appointee of the Harrison County Council. For five of those years, she served as board president, and for her first three years on the board, she served as vice president.
“Kathy was a calm and effective leader,” said Library Director Alisa Burch. “Through all her years of leadership, it was obvious that she always had the best interests of the community and library employees in mind. She has a great sense of humor and is a tireless library advocate. Her library education and years of experience as an elementary school librarian were invaluable in understanding library priorities.”
“We thank her for her service, “ Burch added. “She will be missed.”
During the reception, Kathy was presented with a plaque that read: “Certificate of Appreciation presented to Kathy Crimans. The Harrison County Public Library Board of Trustees and staff wish to express our sincere gratitude for your 8 years of dedicated service to the Harrison County Public Library. We wish you good health, happiness and continued success.” She was also given a thrown glass bowl from Zimmerman Art Glass.
