Hello everyone,
I received the following message from the American Library Association. I am forwarding it to all of you because I believe we all know at least one librarian we could recommend for this wonderful award. If you know someone, please nominate them at: http://www.ilovelibraries.org/lovemylibrarian <http://www.ilovelibraries.org/lovemylibrarian> . Shana Tova! Kathy B. Here is the email I received: We’re excited to share that nominations for this year’s national I Love My Librarian Award are now open and will run through November 9. Ten exceptional school, public and college/university librarians will be selected to receive $5,000 in recognition of their service to their communities. They'll be honored during a virtual award ceremony at ALA’s Midwinter Meeting in January 2021. Having a large nomination pool is absolutely essential to selecting winners who have powerful stories and reflect the diversity of the profession, representing a variety of backgrounds, library types and regions. We hope you will share news about the award via your social media, website, newsletter or wherever else you think people can be reached. We have many free promotional tools <http://www.ilovelibraries.org/lovemylibrarian/promotional-tools> available on the I Love My Librarian website, including newsletter copy, digital graphics and sample social media posts to make it easy for libraries and library supporters to promote the award in their communities. Feel free to highlight the nomination link <http://www.ilovelibraries.org/lovemylibrarian/> through your communication networks. In the past, your channels have been extremely helpful in getting out the message far and wide to libraries and library advocates. Thank you so much for anything you are able to do to help spread the word! Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have questions about the award or if there’s something I can do to assist efforts.
