Reminder: 2007 National Awards for Museum and Library Service Nomination
Deadline is February 15
Washington, DC--The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is
accepting nominations for the agency's 2007 National Awards for Museum
and Library Service. The deadline is February 15, 2007.
This award is the highest honor the nation confers on libraries and
museums for their outstanding contribution to America's communities.
Selected institutions demonstrate extraordinary and innovative
approaches to public service, exceeding the expected levels of community
outreach and core programs generally associated with their services. The
award includes a prize of $10,000 to each recipient and an awards
ceremony to be held in Washington, DC.
The main qualification for selection is community service, as
demonstrated by the institution's ongoing commitment, at every level, to
its community. Nominations should describe the institution's goal in
serving its community, the population served, how the community works
together to achieve the goal, the outcome of this effort during the past
two to three years, and projections for future efforts.
The National Museum and Library Services Board reviews the nominations
and makes recommendations to the IMLS Director, who makes the final
selection.
