director of the Richland Library in Columbia, SC, which received the 2017 National Medal for Museum and Library Service, the nation’s highest honor. Huggins was named a 2018 Woman of Distinction by the Girl Scouts of South Carolina – Mountains to Midlands
for her lasting impact in the community, and was named a 2018 Woman of Influence by
<em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Columbia Regional Business Report</span></em>. In 2018, she was the first woman to win the Stephen G. Morrison Visionary Award from One Columbia for Arts and History. Huggins has been included on
<em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Columbia Business Monthly</span></em>’s list of the Fifty Most Influential People for the past three years and was selected as an entrant to the Hall of Fame. Her work is influenced by her belief that libraries
