The Love My Librarian program, an initiative of the American Library Association (ALA), seeks to recognize 10 librarians with a $5,000 cash prize. Winners are also given a plaque and a travel stipend to attend the awards reception in New York City.
If you wish to nominate a librarian, he or she must have a master's degree in library and information sciences or a master's degree with a specialty in school library media. Nominations are open to any librarian working in the US in a public library, a library at a 2-year or 4-year college or university, or a K-12 school. Nominations are open until September 19, 2016.
