We’re proud to announce that Allison Sloan has been named Paraprofessional of the Year by Library Journal.

Sloan received the national award for her advocacy on behalf of Paralibrarians working in Massachusetts’ libraries:    “Sloan has worked to highlight the valuable talents and contributions of paralibrarians to the library community (and) she has also reached out to connect them with librarians, library directors, and trustees to strengthen libraries.”  (John N. Berry III – Library Jourral, 2/23/10)

The Reading Public Library extends warm congratulation to Allison for her achievement and also wishes to recognize the essential contribution paralibrarians make in providing excellent library service everyday!
