ImagineIF Libraries Recognized as Montana Library of the Year
By IMAGINEIF LIBRARIES
ImagineIF Libraries was named
the 2015 Library of the Year at the Montana Library Association annu- al conference in Bozeman last week. The award was selected by library staff across the state.
“It is such an honor to be recog- nized by our statewide library asso- ciation,” ImagineIf Board Chair Al Logan said. “We have many great li- braries in Montana, and it means so much to be recognized in this way.”
Just over a year ago, the Flathead County Library System rebranded, becoming ImagineIF Libraries. The new culture at ImagineIF highlights the energy, fun and possibility that can be found in the library, accord- ing to staff.

“Library facility and budget con- straints in the Flathead have not prevented ImagineIF from design- ing spaces that vibrate with poten- tial,” Susie Burch said in her nomi- nation letter.
Burch credited ImagineIF’s vi- sionary strategic plan as giving structure and direction to the “ex- ploration, connections and creation happening in our libraries.”
Montana State Library Direc- tor of Statewide Resources Sarah McHugh, in her nomination, spoke of ImagineIF’s focus on programs and outreach for the community and the resulting “vibrant partnerships between the ImagineIF libraries and their local communities.”
The ImagineIF board and staff wish to thank the local community members for their support, and in- vite everyone in the Flathead to visit their local ImagineIF library to ex- perience the fun and exciting hap- penings in person.
