During my elementary school years, I spent countless hours in the library. Those hours ignited a love of reading that continues today. I believe that literacy is the foundation of elementary learning, which makes the library the heart of the school. That is why it is truly a pleasure to support library initiatives that enhance access to literacy for all students."</p> </div> <h3>Past Recipients</h3> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><strong>Year</strong></td> <td><strong>Recipient</strong></td> <td><strong>Affiliation</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td>2024</td> <td><a href="https://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2024/03/rosetta-g-le-receives-aasl-distinguished-school-administrator-award">Rosetta G.
