Argiro Morgan, president of the St. Tammany Parish Library Board of Control, has been awarded the American Library Association Trustee Citation for distinguished service. The ALA Trustee Citation was created in 1941 and honors the best contributions and efforts of the estimated 60,000 American citizens who serve on library boards.

Morgan has served on the library board since 1999 and has served as its president since 2006. During her tenure, she guided the library through recovery from Hurricane Katrina and construction of the new Madisonville Branch, according to a news release from the parish library system.

In addition to her position on the board, Morgan also serves as president of the St. Tammany Library Foundation and as president of the State Library of Louisiana Board of Commissioners.

The citation was announced by library Director Donald Westmoreland at a recent library board meeting.

"I've done it all out of love," Morgan said in response to the citation. "I have always worked in education and libraries. It's a passion of mine."

Morgan will be presented the award at the ALA Annual Conference in Las Vegas on, June 27.
