This month a Carmel resident was honored with the award for distinguished service and advocacy by The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation.
Kimberly Andersen, manager of the West Indianapolis Branch at 1216 S. Kappes St., was presented the 2014 Beth Tindel Award during the Library’s annual Staff In-Service Day on Nov. 11. The award is in memory of the Library staff member who was valued for her enthusiastic support of the Library Foundation and passion for Library service. Anderson began her Indy Library career in 2002 after receiving a Masters of Library Science from Indiana University in 2000. Andersen’s professional and volunteer efforts were recognized for their neighborhood impact while helping her branch meet the changing needs of the community.
The year’s Staff In-Service Day was highlighted with activities focusing on the Indy Library’s new Strategic Plan, which includes more than $58 million in capital improvements along with new models of service to improve access and more adeptly meet evolving patron needs.
