Student speaker interviewed by Birmingham TV after her speech
About 100 folks showed up for the event crowning the Paul Bryant High School Library as best in the state. Besides the principal - superintendent - public librarians - and school board - a lot of the local citizen were proud to have their school being picked number one for something beside football. Something special is happening here - in a school that has 70% of its students qualifying for government lunches. Shelly Dorrill and Shannon Bogert - the school librarians make all the difference. Raquel Payne - school principal - seems to agree and supports the library program 100%.
Lulu presented the librarians with a certificate - the bronze plaque is being cast as we speak.
