“Ms. Marsh is that rare presenter who is able to deliver serious information with panache and energy. She is articulate, funny, touching, and down-to-earth a combination that ensures her audience is fully engaged in all that she has to say. Her enthusiasm for her subject is contagious and lends itself to vigorous feedback and audience participation. The Ames Free Library hosted approximately 200 adult events in the last calendar year. The events contributed to the library’s winning of a finalist position in the competitive Best Small Library in America 2011 award. I would personally place Kristi Marsh in the top 15 presenters for a year that witnessed a highly noteworthy set of speakers.”
