2020: Dr. Nick Geidner

Dr Geidner wears glasses and a plaid shirt as he smiles into the camera.

2020 was a strange and difficult year for all of us, but Dr. Nick Geidner didn't let that slow him down. On Thursday, September 17, 2020, we held a virtual Seeds of Imagination event to honor Dr. Geidner's work on his documentary, The Library That Dolly Built, exploring the dream, establishment, and growth of Imagination Library. The documentary premiered the following Monday and has been a staple of success for Imagination Library since, with the trailer alone garnering thousands of views on YouTube.

Dr. Geidner's work turned the past, present, and future of Imagination Library into a spellbinding story of hope and strength. Thank you, Dr. Geidner, for your effort.
