*​The "Outstanding Michigan Friends of the Library" Award from FOML*



Did your Friends of the Library group carry out an outstanding project or a
number of successful activities during 2015 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

during 2015.  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 2016 to receive
the award.



To be eligible for this award, your Friends group must be a 2015 FOML
