Love your librarian? Nominate them!
It’s time once again to nominate your favorite librarians for the annual I Love My Librarian award. Up to ten winning librarians will be honored with a $5000 award and will get to represent in New York this December. Here’s the snippet:
Librarians in our nation’s 123,000 libraries make a difference in the lives of millions of Americans every day. Now is your chance to tell us why we should shine the spotlight on a librarian at your public, school, college, community college or university library. Nominate your librarian for the Carnegie Corporation of New York/New York Times I Love My Librarian Award!
You can nominate public, higher academic, and school/media librarians, which leaves you a lot of choices but which means, sadly, you can’t nominate me. Not that you would have, necessarily, but I do like to think you might have considered it, if only briefly.
Nominations close October 9th and winners will be announced in early November. If a librarian has made a difference in your life, this is a great opportunity to make sure they get the recognition they deserve.

I am going to contact ALA about adding a special category: “Best Online Resources Consultant at the Washington State Library”

Special librarians, are they eligible?

Andrew, all librarians are special. 🙂
But no, it seems restricted to the three categories mentioned.
Shawn, don’t forget, also the worst (just realized my title acronymizes to ORC!), which is to say only. But you’re very sweet to suggest it.
