Monday, leaders of the Spokane library announced plans for a hall-of-fame to honor Spokane residents of past and present.
Spokane Public Library Foundation director of development Sarah Bain says they are accepting nominations now for the inaugural Citizen’s Hall of Fame.
Bain: “This isn’t just the who’s who of Spokane, but as an example in the science and medicine sector, who is that scientist, who is that person working in the basement of a hospital, coming up with some really innovative ideas.”
They will award people in six different categories including science and medicine, business, education, philanthropy, leadership, and arts. The hall of fame will be a fundraiser for the library foundation. The first winners will be announced at a gala in April, with proceeds benefiting the foundation.
The hall of fame will be permanent online and through an in-person, mobile display.
