The South Carolina State Library is pleased to announce the winners of the Fifth Annual National Library Week 'Day in the Life of South Carolina Libraries' photo contest. During the days of April 10-16, South Carolina library staff members submitted a wide range of photographs of librarians working, teaching patrons, library events, and in some cases, just having fun doing what they love.
Library staff members from all types of libraries were encouraged to submit photos that captured the essence of South Carolina libraries and librarianship. Winners will also be recognized on the South Carolina State Library's web site and during the 2011 SCLA Annual Conference, October 19-21, 2011, in Charleston.
Judging criteria was based on composition, quality, subject, lighting, creativity, and the ability to capture the spirit of South Carolina libraries. A total of eleven photos were selected winners along with honorable mentions in five main categories. Main categories were Librarians Helping Patrons, Librarians as Technology Gurus, Library Events/Programs, Most Humorous, and Best Overall.
The State Library congratulates the winners and thanks everyone who participated in the contest.
All of the contest photos are available at the NLW Day in the Life of SC Libraries Flickr group located at http://www.flickr.com/groups/nlw2011/.
