On the recordNovember 21, 2019
Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ms. Jean Waldrop, librarian of Harding University, on receiving the Suzanne Spurrier Academic Librarian Award. This award is given--in memory of Suzanne Spurrier, the former library director at Harding University--each year to the librarian who exemplifies the spirit of outstanding service and is dedicated to the professionalism that we expect from all librarians. Miss Waldrop has been working at Harding's Brackett Library since 2006 and oversaw several areas of the library before becoming its director. She has served as the secretary for ARKLink, a board member for Amigos, and is currently serving on the White County Regional Library System board and the Searcy Public Library board. I would like to extend my congratulations to Jean Waldrop on receiving this recognition and wish her much continued success. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________
