Friends of Marshall Public Library to celebrate 30 years in Pocatello

POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) — The Friends of Marshall Public Library are celebrating 30 years of supporting the library and inviting the community to join them for a free anniversary celebration this weekend.

The celebration will begin with a short program highlighting the organization's history and contributions to the community. Library staff, including the library director, are expected to speak, and Pocatello Mayor Mark Dahlquist will read a proclamation recognizing the group's 30th anniversary.

Following the program, attendees can participate in a scavenger hunt throughout the library featuring projects made possible through support from the Friends of Marshall Public Library.

Organizers say the scavenger hunt will also incorporate the Portneuf Valley Farmers Market, giving visitors an opportunity to explore both community events.

Participants who complete the scavenger hunt will receive raffle tickets for a chance to win prizes, including themed gift baskets and a dinner at Texas Roadhouse.

The event will also include giveaways for all ages, including books, bookmarks, candy and other items. Organizers say everyone who attends will receive a cookie.

The event is scheduled for Saturday, June 13, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Marshall Public Library in Pocatello.

The celebration is free and open to the public.
