It took a year of meticulous work from Evergreen Park Community High School librarian Tina Ward and principal Bill Sanderson, but the effort has paid off as the school's Learning Resource Center earned the Association of Illinois School Library Educators Exemplary School Library Award. The term of the award is 3 years, so Evergreen Park will hold the library award until at least 2025, the same year that this year's sophomores will graduate. Established in 2018, it recognizes school libraries for exemplifying teaching standards approved by the Illinois State Board of Education.
