Georgia Library Media Specialist of the Year Information

GLMA and GAIT co-sponsor the Georgia School Library Media Specialist of the Year award to recognize K-12 library media specialists whose services have resulted in exemplary library media programs. Each school system may select one library media specialist for this award. From those chosen for the system level award, one media specialist is chosen as the district Library Media Specialist of the Year. (Each district represents a different region of Georgia.) The state Library Media Specialist of the Year for 2007-2008 is selected from the district winners and will be announced at the Georgia Council of Media Organizations conference.

Please make sure your County or District Coordinators are aware of this award! District winners should be chosen before the Spring Break (most districts are out the first week in April) so that there will be plenty of time to get the District Winner applications in to the GLMA LMSOTY committee for final consideration during our Summer Institute.

If you have any questions about GLMA & GAIT's sponsorship of the Library Media Specialist of the Year, please feel free to get in touch!
