The Avista Foundation was recently named Whitman County
Library Supporter of the month during an award ceremony at the company’s
Spokane Headquarters. The Foundation recently donated $10,000 to the Bettie
Steiger Community Enrichment Center in Colfax to update the building’s Main
Street façade. Additionally, the Foundation has long supported library projects
ranging from countywide Summer Reading sponsorship to the funding of open hours in
the Malden Library. Avista has assisted with a number of energy upgrades and
provided financial support for building renovations in Endicott, Colfax and other branch locations.
Accepting the award on behalf of the Avista Foundation were
Kristi Meyer, Director along with Paul Kimmel, Business and Public Affairs
Director for the Palouse Region.
The Board of Trustees, administration and Friends of the
Whitman County Rural Library District sponsor the Library Supporter of the
Month award as a way of recognizing individuals and groups that play an
invaluable role in supporting and supplementing the library’s budget and
activities. For a complete list of more than 50 supporters who’ve been
