Barrett Service Award. This award is given annually by the Alaska Association of School Librarians to a fellow librarian who is member of AkASL, has demonstrated service to the school library profession, and has provided significant services to both state and local activities.<br \/>\n&#8220;Ms. Barkman\u2019s leadership with our libraries is first rate,&#8221; said Dr. Steve Atwater, Superintendent. &#8220;The regular improvements that she makes to our libraries as they more and more shift to a digital environment is exciting.&#8221;<br \/>\nKarla uses her knowledge and training to help librarians in her district move beyond the basics. She facilitates district collaboration days as well as organizing monthly virtual meetings. Karla actively provides library and technology support to the librarians and teachers in her district.\u00a0She is the district coordinator for the Battle of the Books program, and also writes questions and moderates for this program at the state level.<br \/>\nIn addition to her district duties, Karla is on the AkASL board serving as the Professional Development Grants Coordinator.
