About the I Love My Librarian Award
http://ilovelibraries.org/lovemylibrarian
"Librarians touch the lives of the people they serve every day. The Carnegie Corporation of New York/New York Public Library/New York Times I Love My Librarian Award encourages library users like you to recognize the accomplishments of exceptional public, school, college, community college, or university librarians. We want to hear how you think your librarian is improving the lives of the people in your school, campus or community."

Nominations for the award are open through September 28th.

10 librarians each will receive a $5,000 cash award, a plaque, and a travel stipend to attend an awards reception in New York. In addition, a plaque will be given to each award winner's library.
