Friends of Michigan Libraries (FOML) Merit Award

At the February 3,  2021 FOML Board meeting a motion was approved to award
a special $400 FOML Merit Award for 2020.  This award will be based on a
Michigan library Friends group’s project that was completed successfully in
2020 to support the library during a time when the library was closed and
carrying out its services under the restrictions imposed by COVID.  Friends
groups from any size library in Michigan are welcome to apply for this
special Merit Award.

To apply for this award your Friends should submit a one-page description
of the project answering the following questions:

1.     WHAT was the focus of the project?

2.     WHO was involved in the project and the intended audience?

3.     WHEN did the project begin and end?

4.     WHERE did the project take place? Was it a virtual project?

5.     WHAT steps did you take to publicize your project?

6.     HOW did you evaluate the success of your project?

Deadline for submissions is Wednesday, March 31, 2021.

To be eligible for this award, *your Friends group must be a 2020 FOML
member.*  The project or activities must have been completed during the
2020 calendar year.
