Community Members Honored For Library Contributions

DULUTH, MN – Members of the Duluth Community were honored for their contributions to the Duluth Library Foundation at the Olga Memorial Award Ceremony at the Depot.

Thereby giving us opportunities to continue developing, expanding and imagining what our libraries will be in the future,” Award Recipient, Karen Alworth says.

This was the 4th annual Olga Walker Memorial Awards.
