NEILSA web site will be down this afternoon
Iowa First Lady Christie Vilsack will present a Glass Apple Award to 12
outstanding Iowa teacher-librarians during visits to school library
media-resource centers in January and February. Among those being honored is
Rick Valley of Decorah High School.
Vilsack will present Valley with his award during a ceremony on Tuesday,
Feb. 8, at 8:30 a.m. at the Decorah High School library.
The Glass Apple, an initiative of Mrs. Vilsack's Iowa Stories 2000
Foundation, was created to recognize and honor the hard work and dedication of
the individual recipient as well as call attention to the hundreds of caring,
committed teacher-librarians around the state that play a vital role in
educating Iowa's children.
"Teacher-librarians are the keystone of every school's curriculum because
they help students and teachers learn how to use books and technology in an
effective way," Mrs. Vilsack said. "These remarkable people devote their energy,
time and talents to helping students find, evaluate and use the information they
gather from the many resources offered in a school library media center.
Teacher-librarians can also help reduce the learning gap between students at
urban and rural schools as well as the gap among immigrants and
minorities."
