<p class="MsoNormal">Now is the time to send in your OLE Award nomination for that deserving colleague and/or coworker. The Public Library Division presents the award to a deserving Oregon library employee who has demonstrated exceptional effort and excellence.
Last year we had several nominees but could only choose one. Please consider resubmitting last year’s nominees who were not selected. The PLD Board looks forward to hearing about all those folks who took “the bull by the horns” and got the job done. The award
will be presented at our upcoming OLA Conference.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
