Juli Gilbert has been named Library Media Specialist of the Year for Henry County Schools. She received the honor for her outstanding media center programs for students and staff at McDonough Elementary School. The Georgia Library Media Association (GLMA), in conjunction with the Georgia Association of Instructional Technology (GAIT), hosts the award program. Each school system names one winner who has a chance to compete at the district and state levels. Gilbert was selected locally by a team of school administrators and professional peers, said Brian Blanton, Henry County Schools’ instructional technology coordinator. “Juli was selected for her considerable efforts at integrating the library media program with classroom instruction throughout the school,” Blanton said.
