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.
Jennifer Northrup, librarian at Gwin Elementary School, was recognized for her commitment to fostering a love of reading and supporting both students and staff. Allison Dolan, librarian at Bluff Park Elementary School, was honored for her efforts to enrich the educational experiences of her school community.
“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.”
