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.
