GULFPORT, Miss. (WLOX) - A Gulfport school employee has received a big award to help finance a big idea that will take the library out of the building and into the community.
The Voya Unsung Heroes Award is an honor for 28th Street Elementary Library Media Specialist Janice Barnes. But more importantly, it is to help students over the summer to maintain their reading skills as well as their joy for reading.
