Nominate Your Public Librarian

Home | About the Award | Promotional Tools for Librarians | 2008 Winners | 2009 Winners

Thank you for wanting to nominate your librarian! In order to nominate a librarian, please answer all of the questions below.

Before you get started, we want to ensure that all nominations have the best possible chance of being considered, so we offer the following helpful tips to nominators:

We’re sorry, but we cannot accept essays or entries that are sent via email or mail. Please answer the questions on the form below.
If you have a group of people who want to send in a nomination for the same librarian, please consider pooling your thoughts into a single nomination, if possible. We have found that having so many points of view in a single nomination gives us a stronger sense of who the nominee is and how he/she has made a difference in the community. However, nominators may send in individual nominations.
We recommend that you prepare and save your nomination offline first, before you submit it (in a Word document, etc.). You can then cut and paste your responses into the fields below. This will allow you to save your nomination and to spell-check it before submitting.
Please keep in mind that after submitting your nomination, you will be not able to return to edit it. If you feel your nomination has an error, please re-submit it.
If you have any questions, email Megan Humphrey, mhumphrey@ala.org.

First, tell us about yourself.
