She said she was excited and humbled to be the recipient of this year’s school library advocate award.
“As the school library coordinator, I have shared my love for books and stories and the joy that brings,” she said.
“I have witnessed the transformative impact of a school library and how creating an inclusive space where everyone feels safe, connected, and inspired to learn and grow as a transformative impact on children and families.
“As an advocate, I will strive to continue championing the importance of school libraries in nurturing future generations.”
