Dallas librarian receives national prize from ALA<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tracie Walker-Reed, library media specialist at H. Grady Spruce High School in Dallas, is a winner of this year\u2019s I Love My Librarian Award. Recognized for her leadership in her school and commitment to transforming lives, she is one of only ten librarians in the country to receive this national honor. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Walker-Reed\u2019s nominators highlighted her one-on-one tutoring and mentoring of at-risk and low-income students and her invaluable support of H. Grandy Spruce High School\u2019s learning process through instruction, technology support, and access to print and digital library books.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Holding a true commitment to supporting all areas of positive learning, Walker Reed goes above and beyond her role as a media specialist to make a positive impact by sponsoring numerous student clubs, organizations, and committees. Over the years, she has sponsored the Ladies of Class, an organization that focuses on empowering young women and teaching them social skills; the Decathlon UIL event, which brings home several medals every year; and the Teen School Board, a student advisory group consisting of the junior and senior class presidents. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Her humble and generous spirit creates a warm and inviting place in the library for students, staff, and community members. She opens the library to students and their families for college readiness workshops and allows neighborhood residents to borrow books. She also provides much-needed access to technology and digital literacy information. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
