The Moses Lake Library, Foundation and the community lost a good friend July 8 with the passing of Glenna J. Bingham, 84.

Glenna had lived in Moses Lake since she was 11 years old.  She started volunteering at the library in 1955 and was hired a year later as a full time clerk.  She worked there for the next 35 years, serving as the Children’s Librarian and faithful guardian of the books.  Some of her favorite memories were the summer reading programs and Saturday story hours.

Seeing the need to remodel and expand her beloved library Glenna was one of the founders of the Moses Lake Public Library Foundation.  She was also active in the ML Women’s Club, Soroptomists, Community Concerts, Allied Arts and was a member of Our Lady of Fatima  Catholic Church.

She was an amazing person and will always be remembered by many of us as our favorite “Library Lady.”

If desired, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the foundation.

Recitation of the Holy Rosary will be held at 10:30am on Tue., July 15 with Memorial Mass of Christian Burial celebrated at 11am at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church, 200 N. Dale Rd. here in ML.
