Library Journal Seeks Outstanding Small Public Libraries Library Journal is currently accepting nominations for the Best Small Library in America award. Cosponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the awarded was founded to encourage and showcase the exemplary work of small libraries. Now in its eighth year, the award honors the public library that most profoundly demonstrates outstanding service to populations of 25,000 or less (click here for eligibility requirements). The winning library will receive a $15,000 cash award, a feature story in the February 1, 2012, Library Journal, membership and conference costs for two library representatives to attend the Public Library Association Biannual Conference in 2012 in Philadelphia, PA, and a gala reception at the conference. Starting with the 2011 award year, two finalist libraries will be awarded a $5,000 cash award as well as membership and conference costs for two library representatives to attend the PLA conference and the gala reception in 2012, and they will be given special mention in Library Journal. Nominations will be judged based on several key factors. Most notably, how the nominee, in the last two years, has raised the profile of the library within the community, reached out to new users and remote users, and used technology to support and grow patron access to materials and information. Anyone can nominate a library, including library administration, patrons, and members of the community, among others. Nominations will be accepted until Nov. 2, 2011. Nominators are encouraged to reach out for guidance while developing nominations. Please do so by contacting Rebecca Miller. |
