Two Hoover City Schools librarians have received the President’s Herman Moore LAMP Award of Exceptional Service, an annual honor presented by the Alabama Library Expo to recognize outstanding contributions in library services.

“We are incredibly proud of Mrs. Northrup and Mrs. Dolan,” said Superintendent Dr. Kevin Maddox. “Their dedication and service have left an indelible mark on our students and staff. Having such exceptional individuals as part of our school family is truly an honor.”
