With The Big Read Dallas‘s successful April read-athon just a few days ago and the school year nearing an end, The Big Read Dallas organizers have announced “the librarian of the year.” It’s Pamela Brown, a media specialist at William Hawley Atwell Middle School Law Academy.
How was she picked? More than 60 librarians were nominated. A committee then reviewed the nominations and selected Pamela.
Evidently she’s got quite a following of fans. According to just a couple of the 300 nominations that Pamela received, here are just a couple of descriptions:
“Ms. Pam Brown is funny, cool, tight and fun to hang out with. She is a cool rapper. When she raps, it is like I am listening to the radio 97.9 The Beat.”
“Ms. Pam’s enthusiasm and concern for her students is unparalleled. She played a big role in my childhood, and it makes me so happy that other children are able to learn from her today.”
In addition to receiving an Ereader, Pam also received $1,000.
