[Rachel Ash]

There's still time to submit a colleague, trustee or library supporter for an MLA Award!

It's MLA award season-our own version of the Academy Awards, the Emmys, the Grammys and the Tonys -and it's not too late to submit a nomination! Winners will be celebrated at the MLA 2019 Annual Conference, this Oct 16-18 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi.

Please nominate a colleague, a library staff member or a trustee for one of these great MLA awards and help us honor them for all of the wonderful things they do:

The Librarian of the Year:
The MLA Librarian of the Year Award recognizes a librarian's outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the library community. Winners of this award provide innovative library service to their community and promote collaboration among libraries. The MLA Librarian of the Year shows evidence of personal and professional achievement as well as initiative and creativity. They are leaders who provide cutting edge ideas that inspire people. The nomination period for the 2019 MLA Librarian of the Year is open through July 1, 2019.

Hear of a Champion:
The Heart of a Champion Award recognizes a library supporter who has shown an exceptional commitment to libraries and/or the library profession.
