James Morasch, system administrator at Whitman County Library, was recognized for outstanding support of Whitman County Library during a special meeting of the Board of Trustees held November 10 in the Colfax Library. In making the presentation, trustee Becky Dickerson commended Morasch on his many accomplishments but was most appreciative of his work preparing for the upcoming renovation of the Colfax Library.

Morasch has gone over and above his job duties in anticipation of the building project, dismantling and assembling shelving units, moving furniture and equipment, delivering items to outlying branches, recycling unusable materials, hauling garbage to the dump, painting and installing ceiling tiles in the newly asbestos-free technology staff area.

As System Administrator at WCL, James has brought many thousands of dollars in technology grants to the library system while saving taxpayers money through wise planning and research of changing technologies and hardware. In his job-share capacity with Neill Public Library, James has fostered a relationship that benefits both systems and raised the technology capabilities for both the public and staff. Both systems have conserved funds by sharing contracts, equipment, and expertise.

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