The Sisters Organization for Activities and Recreation (SOAR) has been named the Sisters Library's "Family of the Year."

In a ceremony held last month at the library, Sandy McDonald presented SOAR Director Tom Coffield with a plaque recognizing the organization's dedication to youth reading programs.

SOAR regularly brings groups of young children to the Sisters Library story time events as part of an effort to encourage a love of reading in local children.
