A teacher-librarian at Miller Grove Middle School will represent DeKalb County in a state competition for best media specialist.

Lummie Harris was named 2012 DeKalb Library Media Specialist of the Year by the DeKalb School District because she made her library an "extension of the classroom."

Harris will compete for the metro Atlanta title in the spring. The winner then will compete for state honors in the fall. The competition is sponsored by the Georgia Association for Instructional Technology and the Georgia Library Media Association.
