Nominations Invited for National I Love My Librarian Awards
Deadline: September 20, 2010

Nominations are now open for the 2010 Carnegie Corporation of New York/New York Times I Love My Librarian Award.

The award program invites library users across the United States to recognize the accomplishments of librarians in public, school, college, community college, and university libraries for their efforts to improve the lives of people in their community.

Each nominee must be a librarian with a master’s degree from a program accredited by the American Library Association in library and information studies or a master’s degree with a specialty in school library media from an educational unit accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. Nominees must be currently working in the U.S. in a public library, a library at an accredited two- or four-year college or university, or at an accredited K-12 school.

Up to ten librarians will receive a $5,000 cash award, a plaque, and a $500 travel stipend to attend an awards ceremony and reception in New York City in December 2010.

Guidelines are available and nominations may be submitted at the I Love Libraries Web site.
