CHICAGO – The American Library Association (ALA) asks library users to
nominate librarians who have transformed lives and communities through
education and lifelong learning for its coveted 2015 I Love My Librarian
Award. The award invites library users nationwide to recognize the public
service of exceptional public, school, college, community college or
university librarians. Library users can nominate their favorite librarians
now through Sept. 28 by visiting
http://www.ilovelibraries.org/lovemylibrarian.

Each year since the award’s inception in 2008, the ALA selects up to 10
librarians from a pool of thousands of nominations. Award winners will each
receive a $5,000 cash award, a plaque and a travel stipend to attend the I
Love My Librarian Award ceremony and reception in New York City on Dec. 3,
2015, hosted by Carnegie Corporation of New York.

Each nominee must be a librarian with a master’s degree from a program
accredited by the ALA in library and information studies or hold a master’s
degree with a specialty in school library media from an educational program
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 the award’s first seven years, library supporters nationwide shared more
than 14,000 nominations for exceptional librarians. A total of 70
librarians have won the award to date. For more information regarding
previous award winners, please visit

The I Love My Librarian Award is generously sponsored by Carnegie
Corporation of New York. This year the ALA welcomes The New York Public
Library as a co-sponsor. The ALA administers the award through the ALA’s
Public Awareness Office, which promotes the value of libraries and
librarians.
