i love my librarian

From the NC Development Blog:
The Carnegie Corporation of New York/New York Times I Love My Librarian Award invites library users to recognize the accomplishments of public, school, college, community college, or university librarians. Up to 10 librarians will be selected.  Each will receive a cash award, plaque, and travel stipend for the awards ceremony.  Nominations will run through Sept. 6 and are being accepted online at ilovelibraries.org/ilovemylibrarian. 

In 2012, one of the 10 awardees was Beatriz Adriana Guevara from the Charlotte Mecklenburg Public Library. In 2011, Jennifer LaGarde of Myrtle Grove Middle School in Wilmington won the award. Let’s make 2013 a third year for North Carolina libraries!
