Owen Intermediate School Media Center wins state library award

State Representative Kristy Pagan announced that earlier this month, the Library of Michigan awarded Owen Intermediate School Library Media Center in Van Buren Public Schools with the the state’s 2019-20 Model 21st Century School Library (SL 21) Award for its innovative collaborations with local educators.
The Model SL 21 program recognizes high-quality school libraries and library media specialists going above and beyond and promotes the development of similar initiatives in other schools, Rep. Pagan said.
The program is based on the LM’s School Library 21st Century benchmarks. The Owen Intermediate School Library Media Center holds Exemplary status in the SL 21 program through March 2020.
“It is an honor to congratulate the Owen Intermediate School Library on this award and I applaud their commitment to providing high-quality resources to students in our community,” Rep. Pagan said.
