Love Your Librarian? How to Nominate Waterford's Best for National Award

By ETHAN LEVINE (Patch Staff)

Library-goers now have the opportunity to show some love for their favorite librarians by nominating them for an American Library Association (ALA) ”I Love My Librarian” award.

This is the eighth year the awards are being handed out, and up to 10 librarians nationwide will be honored with an “I Love My Librarian” award. Winning the award also comes with $5,000, a plaque and a travel stipend to attend the official awards ceremony in New York in December.

Nominees should be working in a public library, a library at an accredited two- or four-year college or university or at an accredited K-12 school.

Nominate your favorite librarian here. Nominations will be accepted through Sept. 28.

Don’t just submit the nomination above — tell us about your favorite librarian in the comments below!
