HR1136: HR1136 Grant, Ms. Shantelle; occasion of her selection as the 2025 Georgia Public Library Employee of the Year; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Shantelle Grant, who works as the children's coordinator at the Toccoa-Stephens County Public Library and as the regional children's and youth services director for the Northeast Georgia Regional Library System, for being selected as the 2025 Georgia Public Library Employee of the Year. The resolution details her work leading children's programming, early literacy initiatives, and community partnerships, and notes her recognition by the Stephens County School System in November 2025. The House resolves to commend her and directs the Clerk of the House to provide her with a copy of the resolution.

• Formally recognizes and commends Shantelle Grant for being named the 2025 Georgia Public Library Employee of the Year.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Ms. Grant.
• Creates no new law, funding, or regulation; it is a ceremonial statement by the House of Representatives.

This resolution directly names and honors Shantelle Grant. It also references the Toccoa-Stephens County Public Library, the Northeast Georgia Regional Library System, and the Stephens County School System, but imposes no obligations on them.

The resolution has no legal or budgetary effect on Georgians generally. Its practical effect is symbolic: it gives official, public recognition from the Georgia House of Representatives to one library employee's community work.

• The whereas clauses describe Ms. Grant's roles at the Toccoa-Stephens County Public Library and the Northeast Georgia Regional Library System and her literacy programs.
• The resolving clause formally commends Ms. Grant and congratulates her on the 2025 award.
• A further resolution directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy available for distribution to Ms. Grant.
