The Foundation is pleased to announce this year that the Citation of Excellence Award amounts have increased from $500 to $1,000. Two runners-up will be recognized with a Citation of Excellence. All three award-winners will receive trophies for public display.

We hope you will consider nominating your library this year! The criteria is described on the attached nomination form. The deadline for nominations is August 19, 2016. Winners will be announced at the State Librarian's Luncheon on Friday, October 28, 2016, during the 2016 Michigan Library Association Annual Conference in Lansing.
