In addition to her work for the Friends of the Idyllwild Library, for 15 years as a reader for the children as well as serving during various periods as Friends hospitality and volunteer coordinator, Doshier has been active in the Idyllwild Area Historical Society, the Philanthropic Educational Organization (\u201cthe nutty ladies\u201d), Mountain Quilters of Idyllwild and the Community Presbyterian Church where she taught Sunday school. <\/p>\n<p>Doshier was part of the Friends committee that visited new libraries throughout the county as designs for the recently completed new Idyllwild Library were being made and revised by HMC Architects of Ontario. As a result of the committee\u2019s efforts, the Strawberry Plaza library incorporates many suggestions that have made the new library as practical and inviting as it is. As the Friends had envisioned, the library has become a community center, used by Hill residents of all age groups. \u201cI\u2019m very happy how the library turned out,\u201d said Doshier, in an interview at the new library. <\/p>\n<p>During the interview, children began gathering in the sun-filled children\u2019s room for story time. Looking at the children and their mothers, Doshier said, \u201cThe children\u2019s program was my passion. There are now so many young mothers bringing their children and forming friendships. I\u2019ve enjoyed the parents so much. \u201d <\/p>\n<p>Doshier, who had brought previous experience in childhood education to her work with the Friends, helped recruit readers for the Idyllwild Library children\u2019s program. She is confident the program will continue unabated under new librarian Shannon Ng. \u201cWe have such a good working relationship with Shannon,\u201d said Doshier. \u201cI can\u2019t say enough about how helpful she is.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Doshier noted that current readers include Mary Zimmerman, Rachel Torrey, Tawney Harrington, Virginia Lumb and Heidi Tiso, and that the program remains strong. <\/p>\n<p>Doshier is self-effacing about her community service, preferring to acknowledge how many others contribute to the common good. \u201cI\u2019ve always admired how the people of Idyllwild work together,\u201d said Doshier. <\/p>\n<p>Doshier will be moving to Calimesa. Her son will live with her and nephews will be on hand to offer support. \u201cOne of the things that gives me peace,\u201d she said, \u201cis that I\u2019ll be returning to Idyllwild at least once a month \u2014 to go to church and to keep my connection with PEO, and, of course Idyllwild. There is such a spirit about this place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is a spirit that Doshier exemplifies.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Longtime community volunteer Bonnie Doshier, known as \u201cGrammy\u201d to the many children at the Idyllwild Library\u2019s story-time sessions, is leaving the Hill in mid-July.
