Awards, Accolades, and Achievements
Ms. Moore, individually, and the library program as a whole have been recognized with numerous awards, accolades, grants, etc. which are outward indicators of the quality of the SMS library experience. However, just stepping into the library and speaking with our student and staff patrons will confirm its quality regardless of any awards received.
