We have a new Library Director!

By

Maria Guest is our new Library Director. She comes to us from the Cascade School District, West Ada School District and retail industry. Maria moved to Cascade 2 years ago to live the small town life with her husband and two daughters. She studied at San Francisco State University to achieve a B.A. in English, a certificate in Human Resource Management and later obtained her Idaho Certification for K-8 Elementary Teaching. She enjoys teaching, reading, fishing, camping and playing scrabble. Maria is very excited to be a part of the Library family and is working diligently to get all of the contractors in line to finish the Library building so that it could be open before the summer ends.

Thank you, ICFL!

We are very pleased to announce that the Cascade Public Library was awarded the $500,000 Facilities Improvement Grant by the Idaho Commission For Libraries. This grant was very competitive, so we feel extremely fortunate to have been chosen. The application was extensive and we couldn’t have done it without your help. 

We would like to thank Grant Writer Leslie Freeman, Mayor Judy Nissula, City Inspector Darryl Sheppard, Kittric Guest, Performance Engineers and Dalrymple Construction for helping us put our application together. We would also like to thank the Library Expansion Committee, Board of Trustees, City Hall, City Council, Friends of the Cascade Library, Cascade School District, Cascade Afterschool Program, Cascade Medical Center, University of Idaho Extension, Cascade Cultural Art Center, Chamber of Commerce, Cascade Aquatic and Recreation Center, Western Central Mountains Economic Development Council, American Legion, Leisure Time RV Park, Umpqua Bank, and Stibnite Foundation for their unwavering support. 

This construction project is not just a library expansion, but it is also a vision of what is to come for Cascade and what is possible when we work together.  

On behalf of the Cascade Library, thank you!
