Oklahoma School Librarian of the Month

Vanna Owens

OKSL and Rosen Publishing proudly announce Vanna Owens, School Librarian at Sequoyah Elementary School, as the winner of the Rosen Publishing Oklahoma School Librarian of the Month for March 2025.  The Rosen Oklahoma School Librarian of the Month is a new award that recognizes members of the OKSL who provide outstanding service to their school community and the school library community.

Vanna is being recognized for her innovative approach to facilitating a family literacy event that was held on the school football field.  The even combined fresh air, storytelling, and community engagement as the One School, One Book program title was revealed and "Celebrity" guest readers were spread out across the football field on picnic blankets, each reading aloud to small groups of families.  The event put in practice the importance of literacy as  family activity.

Congratulations Vanna!  Way to Soar!
