<strong>school, public, academic, and special libraries are all eligible.</strong> The nominated program/series must have been for a public audience. The nominated cultural/thematic program should be one that features the humanities, sciences, arts, creative
arts, community and civic engagement programs, as well as programs in conjunction with exhibitions, community-wide reading programs, or other community-wide programs. The nominated program should have engaged the community in planning, sponsorship and/or
