Congratulations to this year's I Love My Librarian Award honorees! Each honoree receives a $5,000 cash prize as well as complimentary registration and a $750 travel stipend to attend the American Library Association’s 2025 LibLearnX: The Library Learning Experience Conference.
Thank you to all the library supporters who sent in nominations. Nearly 1,300 library users submitted stories highlighting how their librarians have gone above and beyond in their communities. Honorees were selected for their outstanding public service accomplishments.
Carnegie Corporation of New York has generously sponsored the I Love My Librarian Award since 2008, with additional support from The New York Public Library. The award is administered by the ALA.

“Librarians nationwide make positive impacts on their communities every day, and the inspiring stories from this year’s I Love My Librarian Award recipients prove how transformative their efforts can be to the lives of their patrons. From Alabama to Alaska, from the Bronx to Maui, the vital services these librarians provide reinforces what we all know: that libraries everywhere are an essential public good, and the people who power them serve to inform, connect, educate, and empower their communities.”
- ALA President Cindy Hohl
