With the enthusiasm and leadership of director Mary Beth
Stenger, Southern Area Public Library, in Lost Creek, WV, has been transformed
from a good, traditional public library into a modern, bustling center of
community activity, information, and learning. This transformation convinced
the judges to name it the Best Small Library in America 2013, cosponsored by
Library Journal and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Mary will share
how the library has developed creative programming and innovative services to serve
their community of 498, with the help of just one other library staff member, a
team of volunteers and a small Board of Trustees.
