The Richmond County School System would like to congratulate Laura West, Media Specialist at the Academy of Richmond County, for being awarded the 2018 Georgia Library Media Association Regional Library Specialist of the Year Award for East Georgia.

“It is a great pleasure and honor to receive the 2018 GLMA Regional Library Media Specialist of the Year Award for East Georgia. During my career I have learned that it is essential to build good working relationships with my faculty and with my students in order to create a successful library media program. I attribute whatever success I have had to following this philosophy,” said Mrs. West when asked about her recognition.

Ms. West will be competing against other regional winners for the Georgia Library Media Specialist of the Year Award, which will be announced in June.
