We have some sad news to share today. David Keddle passed away on Friday, June 13th, after a long and difficult battle with leukemia.
David’s career in libraries spanned more than 50 years—a remarkable legacy of dedication to the field of knowledge and information. Even during his illness, he remained focused on his goal of returning to the library and completing 20 years of service with Kaiser Permanente.
Many of you will also remember David’s fondness for his cat, Hilary, who was a constant companion and source of comfort to him.
David Keddle was an advisor for NNLM Region 5, and also had a long relationship with the organization previously named NNLM Pacific Southwest Region (PSR). NNLM Region 5 interviewed David for their Member Liaison Spotlight blog in 2024.
