Fendrick expressed the fact that the achievement speaks not only to the excellence of the library, but the dedication and spirit of the community that it serves.
Libraries are the heart of the community, Fendrick explained, and provides opportunities for education, personal development and connection. In a world that is constantly changing, libraries remain steadfast, she shared.
Fendrick continued by stating that the true strength of the library of those that make it thrive and the staff members inspire curiosity while providing a space for stories to come alive.
Price City and Utah as a whole are fortunate to have this invaluable institution and the incredible individuals that bring it to life. Fendrick gave congratulations to the library and the community that it serves.
“Thank you for showing us that the power of a library extends far beyond its walls and that it is woven into the very fabric of your town,” Fendrick concluded.
