Youth Services News New Mexico Library Association Awards

[Julia Kelso]

Please feel free to forward this to anyone you think might have a nominee. 

 

Nominations are now being accepted for the following NMLA Awards: 

Community Achievement Award - this award is given to librarians (those
certified or with a degree) for outstanding library service or achievement
at the local level. Also, may be given as NMLA's recognition of an award
from another source that has enhanced the library, and to the entire library
community; thus, to a local, school, or academic librarian who has received
a community, regional, or national honor. 

Legislator of the Year Award - given to a New Mexico state legislator who
has demonstrated leadership in the advancement of libraries throughout the
state. Criteria: Notable legislative contribution to library funding, the
issues of intellectual freedom, and/or access to library services. 

New Mexico Library Amigo Award - given to an individual (friend, volunteer,
trustee, board member, other citizen, or other non-certified personnel)
whose work on behalf of the local library has resulted in significant
progress and/or achievement for that library; or in recognition of work in
the promotion of library service within the state. 

New Mexico Library Leadership Award - given to librarians who have rendered
outstanding service beyond the local community. Criteria: Notable
contribution to the advancement of libraries within the state, known and
recognized in more than one community. Contributions of a nature that bring
recognition and/or enhance the image of libraries in general within New
Mexico. Activities and efforts that have helped other librarians to improve
their service capabilities. 

These awards will be presented at the in-person 2022 NMLA Annual Conference
scheduled for October 26-28 in Albuquerque.

couldn't easily be explained, but which would become obvious if they stopped
doing them and it was worth 6 pence and one half-penny not to find out what
these were." The Science of the Discworld: The Globe" Terry Pratchett et.
