Nashville, Tenn. – Sen. Diane Black (R-Gallatin) was recently presented an award from TENN-SHARE for her support of the Tennessee Electronic Library.

“I am truly grateful for this honor,” said Black.  “I consider it a great privilege to serve in the State Senate, and I look forward to continue working hard to increase educational opportunities for the citizens of Tennessee.”
