Library Journal names Best Small Library in America

twistedlibrarian writes “With a remote community numbering just 2600, the Haines Borough Public Library (HBPL) in Haines, AK, has been selected by Library Journal for the first annual Best Small Library in America Award. Cosponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the award was founded to encourage and showcase exemplary work of libraries serving populations under 25,000.

From nearly 150 nominations for the inaugural award, LJ editors and a panel of library leaders selected the Haines Borough Public Library for its tremendous commitment to its community, its services, programs, collections, and growth over the past five years.
