LibraryAware Community Award
By Donna DiMichele | July 2, 2012
EBSCO and Library Journal announced the LibraryAware Community Award competition on June 22, 2012.
Library Journal is looking for libraries that are deeply engaged with their community and where the community is equally engaged with the library. A new award, the LibraryAware Community Award, will recognize those cities and towns and their libraries, or library systems, that have demonstrated their ability to make the community aware of what the library can do for them—and have delivered on that promise. The award will be given by Library Journal and underwritten by LibraryAware™, a product of the NoveList division of EBSCO Publishing.
The LibraryAware Community Award will go to a library whose community is aware of, and recognizes, the library’s role:
- In areas that are documented priorities in the community served by the library, such as digital access, adoption, and/or literacy; economic and workforce development; education; health care; public safety and emergency services; civic engagement.
- As a place of transformation and change
- As an organization whose activities ensure outcomes that are essential to the vitality of the community.
Criteria for the award include any and all components that create a LibraryAware community: strategic planning, marketing, outreach, partnerships, and programs, product, or service development. Additional information on the criteria plus submission requirements
Submissions will be judged by a variety of library and community experts.
