Friends of the Library fondly remembers Carolyn Cline for all her leadership and contributions to our group and the Boone County Library. She and George were the leaders in the automation project back in the late 1990s that converted the Boone County Library from the card system to barcodes and put the card catalog online. She spent so many hours to improve the library through various projects, and we appreciate her devotion to the library! https://www.diamondstatecremation.com/obituary/Carolyn-Cline
