Officials say King retired from teaching and has worked as the treasurer of the Catawba County Friends of the Library for thirteen years.
NCPLDA officials say the award recognizes community engagement, mentorship, and impact on the community, library staff, and the library profession, and is presented yearly to an individual who demonstrates outstanding leadership.
King started her work with the Catawba County Friends of the Library in 2007 when a group of library supporters came together to reestablish an inactive Friends group, and although the role was intended to rotate among volunteers, King stepped up consistently to help, officials say.
