Effie Lee Morris

For Extraordinary Contributions
to the World of Books and,
Through Books, to Society.

She is a talented, dedicated librarian, educator, author,
creator of programs and services, leader of causes and groups.

A civil libertarian working to bring the benefits of reading
to all people, she generates ideas that build lifetime
reading habits.

By honoring Effie Lee Morris, we honor a rare
tradition of service to children, and a vision of the
intellectual, emotional, and spiritual growth that
reading fosters.
