The Secret Life of Librarians has been nominated for a Webby Award!
Produced by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the online series explores the unexpected stories of librarians across the country and their contributions as civic heroes who are improving lives and bringing communities together.
The 10 recipients of the American Library Association’s 2024 I Love My Librarian Award are at the series’ heart, with each penning a short piece encapsulating their work, and more importantly, why they do it. These are the stories of the unsung heroes whose work impacts lives both inside the library and outside its walls.
One librarian in Indiana helps patrons discover their true histories. A Florida librarian creates a haven for students after a school shooting. A Puerto Rico patent and trademark librarian makes dreams come true for the island’s entrepreneurs.
