We would like to draw your attention to our call for nominations for the annual Manitoba Library Association Awards - for Service and Innovation. As the Chair of the Awards sub-committee, Michael Dudley (MLA's Academic Libraries Director) will be working with other members of the MLA Executive to review nominations and select award recipients. The awards are as follows:

Manitoba Library Service Awards (deadline: April 1)

The service awards honour people - librarians, library workers, trustees, volunteers - who have made an important contribution to the development of libraries and library services in our province. Each year the winner will be presented with the award at the Annual General Meeting or Manitoba Libraries Conference.

Anyone may make a nomination, on their own behalf or on behalf of an organization. Nominations should be submitted in the form of a letter of not more than two pages, naming the person and detailing the work they have accomplished for libraries. A Committee chosen by the MLA Executive will consider the nominations and choose the winner. We all know people who have significantly contributed to our field; now is the time to give them the credit they deserve! Nominations are accepted by email at manitobalibrary@gmail.com.

Library Innovation of the Year Award (deadline: April 1)

The Manitoba Library Association's Library Innovation of the Year Award is given to libraries who through innovative thinking have created or demonstrated improvements in library services. Winners are presented their awards at the Annual General Meeting or Manitoba Libraries Conference. Visit our news area to find the winners of last year's Library Innovation of the Year and celebrate innovation in Manitoba libraries! Nominations are accepted by email at manitobalibrary@gmail.com. Anyone can make a nomination.
