The Library Program of the Year (LPOY) award is designed to recognize and celebrate the school library media program that provides outstanding service to students, staff, and the community through the library staff’s excellence, professionalism, and innovative approaches to literacy. The award is presented in partnership with Houston Association of School Librarians (HASL).

School librarians and campus media specialists are highly trained educators who ensure the library provides access to a wide array of print, digital, and hands-on library resources to enhance campus and district literacy efforts and support teaching and learning.
