I'm sorry if I missed this being shared, but I was so excited to see CT's own Jane Martellino was recently honored with ALA's "I Love My Librarian Award". Congratulations, Jane, on this wonderful and well-deserved achievement! (1 of 10 librarians recognized in the nation!) You have shared so much with CT's school librarians, and inspired many of us! Thank you for all you do!
