4th Annual New York Times Librarian Awards

kctipton writes Here’s the official announcement and full details about the Fourth Annual New York Times Librarian Awards. Nominations for 2004 will be accepted until September 17, 2004.

The New York Times Librarian Awards is a national program, honoring 27 public librarians from across the country each year. As we did last year, we will again recognize 12 public librarians from across the nation and 15 librarians from New York State, New Jersey and Connecticut, the early home of the Librarian Awards.

Eligible nominees include any librarian currently working in a public library in the United States. Nominators are encouraged to nominate librarians who consistently demonstrate the highest levels of professionalism, knowledge and public service in the execution of their duties.

Winners will be announced in The Times in December and will each receive $2,500 and a commemorative plaque.”
