The Golden Key Award was established in 1979 to recognize a school librarian who has made significant professional contributions to the profession in Hawai'i and given notable service to our organization. The recipient will be recognized and presented with a perpetual koa bowl and framed certificate at the HASL spring conference.

Shelley Lau, Aina Haina School Librarian "Shelley has mentored and inspired so many librarians throughout her career. Her school-wide literacy programs highlight the value of having a certified school librarian. Her lesson plans are the best that I've ever seen. I am also so inspired by her workshops that she leads at numerous past HASL conferences which help to elevate our profession. Thankful to know someone as dedicated and knowledgeable as her in the field."- Laurel Oshiro
