NORTH WEBSTER – Retired North Webster Community Public Library Director Helen Leinbach Frank was awarded the Sagamore of Wabash Award by Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb.
Friends of North Webster Community Public Library nominated Frank for the award that honors her as “distinguished by her humanity in living, her loyalty in friendship, her wisdom in council and her inspiration in leadership,” according to a news release from the library. Adult Services Director Beth Smith presented the award on behalf of Friends of the Library.
