The Community of Endicott and resident Gail Bilow were named top library supporters for January and February by the Trustees and Friends of Whitman County Library. Awards were presented to Endicott Mayor Vern Strader and his wife Barbara along with Gail Bilow during a recent visit to their library. Library Board Chairman John Aune, Friends vice-president Wanda Alderman and Branch manager Caroline Morasch presented the awards.

The Community of Endicott was honored for its overwhelming support of library services within the community, including the passage of library annexation by 85% in November. Use of the Endicott Library ranks among the top in the district reporting the busiest statistics per hour and a very popular adult craft series.

Gail Bilow was commended for generously donating her time, talents and materials to the Endicott branch for Adult Craft Programs. She consistently supplies the Endicott librarian with wonderful ideas on future craft programs and assists with the programs. Barbara Strader called Bilow one of the most talented people in town.

The Board of Trustees and administration of the Whitman County Rural Library District sponsor the Library Supporter award to recognize those individuals and groups that play an irreplaceable role in supporting and supplementing the library's budget and activities.
