The Moses Lake Public Library Foundation is pleased to honor Alice Harwood who served the community in many ways, but most memorably as an early member of the Board of Trustees of the North Central Regional Library from 1970 to 1982 following Moses Lake resident Bryan Miller, who was chair of the first seven member NCRL board. She served two six year terms on the board representing the Moses Lake District.
Mrs. Harwood, an avid reader, not only sat on the NCRL board, but served her community in other ways. She and her husband Eugene began farming in the Moses Lake area in 1949. She knew it as a new, raw, hot, and dry, but fast- growing community full of opportunity where everyone worked to help themselves and each other. She was superintendent of the Arts and Crafts Building at the Grant County Fair for years and was also a member of Eastern Star and the O’Sullivan Grange. The Harwoods raised two daughters, one of whom has become a librarian. Her influence continues to be felt as the foundation moves toward expanding and remodeling the city library supported by this $10,000.00 donation in her name.
