Congratulations!

Please join me in cheering for Passages Academy’s Library team, runner-up for ALA’s Penguin Random House Library Award for Innovation Through Adversity!  The award recognizes U. S. libraries and librarians who create lasting innovative community service programs that successfully inspire and connect with new readers.  That certainly describes my colleagues Ms. Abdulrashid, Mr. Leon, and Ms. Roberts.  

And let’s keep the cheering going for the award winner, The Lillian Marrero Library!  Their community programming in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and their wellness programming are so inspiring.  Click here to read more, including the names of our fellow runners up.  Congratulations to all of you.  I am very much looking forward to learning more about your work.--Jessica Fenster-Sparber
