Ms. Ladd given Distinguished Service Award

Our new Librarian, Ms. Sally Ladd, was awarded Friday with the Maryland Association of School Librarians Award for Distinguished Service to the Profession.

Ms. Ladd was recognized for her ground breaking work in making digital databases of information available to school libraries throughout the state. (For those of you who aren't library geeks, digital databases are online tools with access to tons of information -- we are talking encyclopedic in scope and fully multimedia in execution. It's really exciting.)

Prior to coming to RCF, Ms. Ladd worked with the state to negotiate the availability of these resources on behalf of Maryland's school systems. As a result, many more students have access to a wide range of information both in school and at home.
