Municipal Achiever of the Year

City of Liberty Lake – Liberty Lake Municipal Library

Liberty Lake was specially selected for this top honor for their outstanding achievement in furthering community education and creating community cohesiveness. The library was born out of hope and countless volunteer hours. The library has programs for children as well as a book club for seniors. The dream continues to grow as the city has purchased the land next to the library and a plan of expanding is already in the works.
