ARSL Awards for Libraries and Library Workers

The ARSL Awards for Libraries and Library Works nominations are now open! The nomination window is from January 2, 2024 - February 6, 2024.

Awards will be based on nominees' accomplishments during the preceding year (January-December 2023), with the exception of the Distinguished Service Award that can take into account nominees' career-long community engagement. Nominators will be asked to describe their nominees' commitment to ARSL's Organizational Values, as well as the strength of their professional practice in the focus area of the award for which they are being nominated.

Individuals or organizations can be nominated for multiple awards, but will only be able to win one award per year. Self-nominations and nominations of eligible libraries/library workers by non-library individuals or organizations are acceptable.

All recipients will be recognized during the Awards Ceremony at the 2024 ARSL Conference. In addition to receiving their award, all recipients will receive one (1) complimentary conference registration ($300 value) each so they may be honored in person and celebrated by their ARSL community.
