*MAE Award Press Release*

YALSA members who have run an exceptional reading or literature program in
the 12 months leading up to Dec. 1, 2014 are eligible to apply for the 2015
MAE Award for Best Literature Program for Teens, which recognizes an
outstanding reading or literature program for young adults.

Do you run a spectacular teen book club that engages underserved audiences?
Did your summer reading program or literature festival connect teens with
literature in an innovative way? Is your Reader’s Advisory always three
steps ahead of a trend? Have you connected teens to literature or helped
them gain literacy skills via some other exciting means?  Whether the
program was large or small, if it was good, you could win $500 for yourself
and an additional $500 for your library by applying for this award!
Individual library branches may apply.

The MAE Award is sponsored by the Margaret A. Edwards Trust. Applications
