Midway Middle School is an Exemplary Library Media Program!




Liberty County School System is pleased to honor the outstanding accomplishments of Midway Middle School’s Media Specialist, Mrs. Cristina Dover. Recently, Mrs. Judy Serritella, Coordinator of Library Media Services, Fine Arts, and Literacy Support for the state of Georgia, announced Mrs. Dover was awarded the 2011 Exemplary Library Media Program Award.




Each year school level media committees evaluate the services provided by media centers using a detailed rubric. In order to be nominated for the program a school must score exemplary on a minimum of 14 target indicators. The school library media program must be nominated and the school media specialist must submit a written application to the Georgia Department of Education. In addition, the school administrator must submit a one-page letter of support. Applications from across the state are reviewed by a panel.




The schools selected this year for this honor were:
Elementary- Parsons Elementary in Gwinnett; Compton Elementary in Cobb
Middle- Clarke Middle in Clarke County; Palmer Middle in Cobb County; and Midway Middle in Liberty
High- Glynn Academy of Glynn County; and Sequoyah of Cherokee County




Midway Middle School’s principal, Mrs. Debra Frazier, commented,”Mrs. Dover is a team player. She rejuvenated the media center to include all stakeholders at Midway Middle. She truly has a compassion for reading and is knowledgeable and creative in promoting others to share in the desire to make our community and school literate. Our staff has become technologically literate by way of various staff development opportunities she has presented. Mrs. Dover shares instructional web-sites, resources and training opportunities for certified and classified staff members. She serves as our media committee chairperson. In addition, she provides many services to our teachers. Cristina is a very dedicated Media Specialist- who juggles many, many activities on our campus. I can always depend on her to complete any given task. She is wonderful!!!! For these reasons, I congratulate and commend Mrs. Cristina Dover for our exemplary Media Program at Midway Middle School.”




As part of the recognition, Mrs. Dover will co-present a workshop with the other selected middle school media specialist at the Georgia Education Technology Conference in November. She will also host an open house event for media specialists from the around the state to have an opportunity to watch her outstanding program in action!




Media Coordinator for Liberty County School System, Mrs. Jaime Rearley, commented, “I am thrilled that Mrs. Dover will represent Liberty County at the Georgia Education Technology Conference, and her media program will serve as an example to other schools in the state. She inspires students to read and collaborates with teachers daily to enrich instruction with information literacy and technology skills.”
