School Librarian Appreciation Day and National Library Week

The Board of Education, Interim Superintendent Dr. Carol Montague-Davis, and Technology Director Russel Piland celebrated our media specialists as part of School Librarian Appreciation Day and National Library Week. April 6-12 is a time to highlight the transformative power of libraries and the dedicated professionals who manage them. In Warren County Schools, our media specialists support student learning, promote literacy, and foster a love of reading and research across all grade levels.

Their role as media specialists goes far beyond books. They empower students with the skills and curiosity to explore, learn, and thrive in a digital age. Their ability to integrate technology into learning spaces has made a lasting impact on both staff and students.

The Board of Education, Interim Superintendent Dr. Carol Montague-Davis, and Technology Director Russel Piland honored our media specialists for their unwavering dedication, creativity, and support.
