Check Her Out: Career Librarian Toni Garvey’s Big Win Was Long Overdue
“Seattle may have the Space Needle, and Paris may have the Eiffel Tower, but Phoenix is home to 2004’s Librarian of the Year. Toni Garvey hasn’t let her title go to her head, despite the fact that she was chosen earlier this year from among all librarians across the country. Although there was no swimsuit competition, the contest was fierce — even if the prize was nothing more glamorous than the recognition of Garvey’s peers and her mug on the cover of Library Journal magazine. Which is enough for the director of the Phoenix Library Department, who swears that, Internet be damned, libraries will always rule.”
