LIBRARY EARNS STATE AWARD !!!

The Tupper Lightfoot Memorial Library in Brundidge, Alabama, has received the Alabama Public Library Standards of Achievement Award at the Bronze Level. The award is attained by exceptional public libraries in Alabama, in recognition of superior planning and levels of excellence.
The award signifies the hard work of community members for many years, since the founding of the library in 1959. It is especially in honor of the former director Jean Carroll, who retired as library director in 2015.
This honor is the result of dedication and support from the City of Brundidge, the Library Board (Sara Bowden, Chair; Ann Andrews;Willa White), and former board members, staff & patrons. The award was presented at the Alabama Library Association Convention in Gadsden, Alabama, on April 14, 2016, to Theresa Trawick, Library Director and Jennifer Amlong, Assistant Director.
The Alabama Public Library Standards consist of criteria that measure facilities, administration & governance, planning, budgeting, staffing, continuing education, promotion & partnering, collections, services and technology. The Tupper Library was one of four Alabama libraries that received the award this year.
