Do you love your librarian?

Then nominate her (or him)!

The Carnegie Corporation and The New York Times sponsor the I Love My Librarian competition. The web site is at

http://www.ilovelibraries.org/lovemylibrarian/cccu.cfm

Here is what they have to say about it:

The Carnegie Corporation of New York/New York Times I Love My Librarian Award encourages library users to recognize the accomplishments of exceptional public, school, college, community college, or university librarians. The awards program will demonstrate how librarians are improving the lives of the people in their communities.

Up to ten winners will be selected annually and will receive a $5,000 cash award, a plaque and $500 travel stipend to attend an awards reception in New York hosted by The New York Times at TheTimesCenter on December 9, 2008. In addition, a plaque will be given to each award winner’s library.

The award is administered by the American Library Association with support from Carnegie Corporation of New York and The New York Times.

So if you have some nice things to say about one of the MJ Library staff, we hope you will consider filling in the nomination form and letting the world know!
