Hello All,

Please let your Friends groups know that there is one week left to apply for the
FOML Outstanding Michigan FOML Award. Application details are below:


Friends of Michigan Libraries (FOML)

2013 Outstanding Michigan Friends of the Library Award



Did your Friends of the Library carry out an outstanding project or a number of
successful activities in your community during 2013 that had a significant
impact on your library’s services to the community?



The award will be given to a Michigan Friends group for a specific project
carried out in 2013 or based on the full scope of the group’s activities during
2013.  Applications will be judged by the FOML Membership & Marketing Committee
on the following criteria:



1. Planning:  Involvement of the Friends, library, and community in the use of
resources, an innovative and appropriate activity, and measurable outcomes
(e.g., attendance at event, increase in patron use of the library, etc.).
2. Implementation:  Public relations, broad membership involvement, and use of
resources.
3. Evaluation:  Assessment of activity or program with measurable results.
4. Innovation:  New idea(s) for program or activity, creative involvement of
community and specific citizens, and creative use of public relations.
5. Community Involvement:  Evidence of community involvement in planning and
implementation.



The winning Friends group will receive $400 and a plaque, with an invitation to
attend the FOML Annual Membership Meeting in 2014 to receive the award.



To be eligible for this award your Friends group must be a 2013 FOML member
(membership information can be found at www.foml.org <http://www.foml.org/> )
and completed the project or activities during the 2013 calendar year.

Thank you and Good Luck!
