Don't you think your library is great? Wouldn't you like to receive recognition for providing excellent service to your community?
IMLS is encouraging all libraries to apply for the National Award for Museum and Library Service. WINNING LIBRARIES RECEIVE $10,000 and national recognition. Who knows, maybe next fall you'll be invited to Washington for the award ceremony!
The deadline for applications for the award is February 15, 2008. The application form is available at http://www.imls.gov/about/awards.shtm.
You can find more information about the award criteria, previous winners, and the award ceremony, which took place at the White House, at the IMLS website www.imls.gov.
