The award invites library users nationwide to recognize the accomplishments of librarians in public, school, college, community college and university libraries for their efforts to improve the lives of people in their community.
Nominations, which are online, run through September 20th.
Bina Williams of the Bridgeport Public Library is a winner of a past incarnation of this award (2005) when it was known as the 'Librarian Award.' Williams, a children’s librarian at the Bridgeport Public Library and Southern Connecticut State University adjunct, was nominated for the award by a 15-year-old library girl from a family of home-schooled children who are frequent visitors to the library. There were more than 1,200 nominations for the award, representing librarians from 48 states.
