The Outstanding School Library Paraprofessional Award honors recognize the exemplary performance of a school library paraprofessional who directly supports the school library at the school or district level.

2023 Recipient - Laura Spangler, Milton Area School District

Tracey is described by librarian Maggie Bokelman as “the consummate library paraprofessional.”  She is known for her compassion, her commitment to reading and learning, and her knowledge of diverse literature.  She is always seeking out new ways to promote library services, to welcome and assist staff and students, and to support the district’s technology department. PSLA is so proud to congratulate Tracey as our first winner of the Outstanding Paraprofessional Award!
