Nominations Open for "I Love My Librarian" Award

On behalf of ALA’s Communications and Marketing Office, I’m excited to share that nominations for this year’s I Love My Librarian Award are open through October 21, 2019.

The award recognizes the service of exceptional public, school, college, community college, and university librarians who have gone above and beyond to promote access to education and improve the lives of their community members. 10 winners will be selected to receive $5,000 and a travel stipend to attend an award ceremony in their honor at ALA’s Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia in January 2020.

An electronic nomination form is now available online at ilovelibraries.org/ilovemylibrarian. Each year, we strive to select a diverse cohort of winners from all types of communities across the country—with that in mind, we’re so grateful for any support you can provide in promoting the award in your area. On the I Love My Librarian website, ALA provides free promotional tools for libraries and library groups to promote the award locally, including:

• I Love My Librarian logo
• Printable flyer
• Social media images
• Sample press release
• Sample newsletter text
• Sample tweets

Thank you for anything you can do to promote this exciting award, and please feel free to contact me with any questions.

All the best,
