How We Celebrate Sheila Cates

Page 16: Cates video older version

We have

silent auctions …

Page 17: Cates video older version

A traveling

quilt The Sheila Cates Traveling Quilt was created in 1994 by Montana Librarian Eva English as an item to be used for the annual Sheila Cates Scholarship Silent Auction. The first winner of the silent auction quilt decided to give it back to the Cates Scholarship Committee and now the quilt has become a traveling quilt. At conference each spring, librarian’s names are drawn for a three-month display of the quilt at the librarian’s home library. Each visited library puts a library patch on the quilt so one can see where it’s traveled in honor of Sheila Cates, one of the great Montana librarians whose work carries on in the form of financial support for Montana’s new librarians.
