Newport has written several articles for the American Library Association and the Journal of Academic Librarianship.

The long-time Carmel resident is proud to have been recognized by her peers.

“I feel quite honored,” Newport said. “You work hard, you try to do your best and people have noticed. That really affected me. I was so surprised. It meant a lot to me.”
