<h1><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Nominations open for 2009 Carnegie
Corporation Of New York/New York Times I Love My Librarian Award <o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<p>NEW YORK – Nominations open today for the 2009 Carnegie Corporation
of
New York/New York Times I Love My Librarian Award.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.ilovelibraries.org/lovemylibrarian/home.cfm">http://www.ilovelibraries.org/lovemylibrarian/home.cfm</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The award invites library users 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 will run through October 9 and are being accepted online at
ilovelibraries.org/ilovemylibrarian. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>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. In addition, a
plaque
will be given to each award winner’s library. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>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 library media 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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Nominees will be judged by a selection committee based on quality of
service
to library users, demonstrated knowledge of the library and its
resources and
commitment shown in helping library users. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In 2008, Carnegie Corporation of New York awarded the American
Library
Association (ALA) $489,000 to support the award, which will continue
annually
through 2013. The award continues in the tradition of one The New York
Times
presented from 2001 to 2006. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Last year, more than 3,200 library users nationwide nominated a
librarian,
and 10 librarians received the award. For more information on last
year’s
winners, visit <a moz-do-not-send="true"

that promotes the value of libraries and librarians.<o:p></o:p></p>
