Leah Langby is 2017 WI Librarian of the Year
A hearty congratulations to Leah Langby, the newly announced winner of the WLA Librarian of the Year Award. Her nominator wrote:
Leah Langby is the heart of youth services and library development in northwestern Wisconsin. Leah’s many accomplishments include maintaining the youth services blog, “Keeping up with Kids” for seven years and being an active and vocal proponent of economically disadvantaged populations through her many collaborations. Care, commitment, passion and humility were frequent refrains in Leah’s nomination. Libraries all over the state are better because of Leah Langby, the 2017 WLA Librarian of the Year!
YSS sends our very best congratulations to a wonderful friend, leader and peer!
Please come and celebrate her honor at WLA at the Dells Thursday Oct 19 evening at the Awards and Honors Reception 5:30-7pm!
