Nominations Sought for Indiana Authors Award The Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library Foundation is now accepting nominations for the second-annual Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana Authors Award through March 25, 2011. This award seeks to recognize the contributions of Indiana authors to the literary landscape in Indiana and across the nation, and is funded by The Glick Fund, a fund of Central Indiana Community Foundation. Any living published writer who was born in Indiana or has lived in Indiana for at least five years is eligible for nomination. A statewide panel will select a national, regional, and emerging author from nominations sent in by the public. Winning authors will each receive a cash prize ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 and will be able to designate their hometown Indiana public library as the recipient of an additional $2,500 grant. On October 29, 2011, the Library Foundation will honor the 2011 winners at an Awards Dinner at the Central Library in downtown Indianapolis. More information about this event, the nomination process, and other program activities and resources is available at www.indianaauthorsaward.org. Best Books of Indiana Entries Due March 31, 2011 The Indiana Center for the Book will be accepting entries for the Best Books of Indiana Contest through March 31, 2011. Unlike the Authors Award, which honors a writer's body of work, the Best Books competition recognizes the top books written in the previous year by a Hoosier author or about Application Deadline Approaches for LSTA Grants Applications for LSTA Technology and Digitization grants are due on Friday, February 11.

February is Library Lovers' Month Library Lovers' Month is a month-long celebration of school, public, and private libraries of all types.
