Plainview librarian named vice chair of state library association committee
Staff reports
The City of Plainview Unger Memorial Chief Librarian Cynthia Peterson was chosen to serve as the Vice-Chair of the Texas Library Association Lariat Committee. Peterson currently completed her first year of a three-year board term, according to a news release from the city.
The committee is tasked with creating the Lariat Adult Fiction Reading List. Since 2009, the goal of the List is to highlight outstanding fiction that is simply “a pleasure to read.” Each year, 25 outstanding fiction titles are selected by the nine-member Lariat committee.
“Selecting books for the Unger Library is part of my job and the committee was a natural fit,” said Peterson. “It allowed me the opportunity to read a variety of books I wouldn’t normally read and offer a larger variety to our patrons.”
Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) made the announcement last week.
“Local airports help bring economic opportunities and critical resources to communities across Kansas,” said Moran. “It is vital for Kansans to have efficient ways to reach and connect with the rest of the world, and these grants are an investment into the future of our rural airports.”
$241,900 to McPherson Airport
McPherson Airport received $241,900 from the Federal Aviation Administration to install NAVAIDS, or navigational aids, and to install a runway visual guidance system.
Given the southwinds in Kansas, pilots that fly into McPherson typically do so from the north side of the runway. They come in closer to the secondary wind cone navigational aid that is “long overdue” for replacement after decades of years of use, according to airport manager Cynthia Peterson.
