Tom Kemp just sent me a note about the I Love My Librarian Award, thinking my readers might be interested. I believe he may be right, so am passing the info on. The following is excerpted from the website. Go to the site for all the details.
The Carnegie Corporation of New York/New York Times I Love My Librarian Award encourages
library users to recognize the accomplishments of exceptional public, school, college, community college, or university librarians. The awards program will demonstrate how librarians are improving the lives of the people in their communities.
Up to ten winners will be selected annually and will receive a $5,000 cash award, a plaque and $500 travel stipend to attend an awards reception in New York hosted by The New York Times at TheTimesCenter in December 2009. In addition, a plaque will be given to each award winner’s library. Winners will be announced in November 2009.
The award is administered by the American Library Association with support from Carnegie Corporation of New York and The New York Times.
Thank you for the mention!
