Each year up to 10 librarians are selected. Each honoree receives a $5,000 cash award in recognition of their outstanding service to their community. They will be honored at an award ceremony during the the American Library Association’s LibLearnX: The Library Learning Experience in January 2025 and will receive complimentary conference registration and a travel stipend as part of their prize package.
