Each year, the Pennsylvania Library Association (PaLA) honors the service of their members, as well as those community volunteers, who go above and beyond the call of duty to support the work of libraries throughout the commonwealth.
Certificates of Merit are awarded to individuals making outstanding contributions during the last five years in Pennsylvania.
On Wednesday, September 22, 2021, three members of the Association were honored with Certificates of Merit.
This year’s winners are Amy Geisinger of the Office of Commonwealth Libraries, in Harrisburg, Leslie LaBarte of the Seneca Library District in Warren, and Rose Chiocchi, Pike County Public Library in Milford.
