*Library supporters encouraged to nominate librarians for national I 
Love My Librarian Award*

NEW YORK – Nominations are now open for the 2010 Carnegie Corporation of 
New York/New York Times I Love My Librarian Award.

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 run through Sept. 20 and are 
being accepted online at 
http://www.ilovelibraries.org/lovemylibrarian/home.cfm

Up to 10 librarians will be selected. Each will receive a $5,000 cash 
award, a plaque and a $500 travel stipend to attend an awards ceremony 
and reception in New York, hosted by The New York Times in December.

Each nominee must be a librarian with a master’s degree from a program 
accredited by the ALA in library and information studies or a master’s 
degree with a specialty in school librarianship from an educational unit 
accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher 
Education. Nominees must be currently working in the United States in a 
public library, a library at an accredited two- or four-year college or 
university or at an accredited K-12 school.

In 2008, Carnegie Corporation of New York awarded the American Library 
Association (ALA) $489,000 to support the award, which will continue 
annually through 2012. The award continues in the tradition of one The 
New York Times presented from 2001 to 2006.

Last year, more than 3,200 library users nationwide nominated a 
librarian. For more information on last year’s winners, visit
