I Love My Librarian 2009 Award

Do you love your librarian? If so, nominate him or her for the I Love My Librarian 2009 Award! Nominations are due no later than Friday,October 9th.


The Carnegie Corporation of New York/New York Times I Love My Librarian Award encourages library users to recognize the accomplishments of exceptional public, school, college, community college, or university librarians. The awards program will demonstrate how librarians are improving the lives of the people in their communities.

Up to ten winners will be selected annually and will receive a $5,000 cash award, a plaque and $500 travel stipend to attend an awards reception in New York hosted by The New York Times at TheTimesCenter in December 2009. In addition, a plaque will be given to each award winner’s library. Winners will be announced in November 2009.

The award is administered by the American Library Association with support from Carnegie Corporation of New York and The New York Times.

"Do we still use books?"

The answer: Yes!

Technology has advanced greatly in providing access at your fingertips but it does not mean books are dead. I suggest reading this article from a Harvard Library Director about why books are not dead.

The Woodbridge Campus Library continuously adds to our book collection.
