The Zion-Benton Public Library District made the news! A Zion woman worked with the Zion Genealogical Society (ZGS) to find the family of the person who donated their kidney to her 40 years ago! The ZGS has dedicated space in the Library for genealogical research, and ABC 7 selected the Library for filming the story. The library's URL figures prominently on the screen.
It's a great story of collaboration and community and may even encourage more people to become organ donors!
The segment aired during the 4:30 p.m. broadcast of the ABC 7 News on Thursday, December 26, 2024.
