Outstanding Paralibrarian of the Year
~ and ~
Paralibrarian Advocate of the Year

Do you know someone who consistently provides service above and beyond the call of duty? A problem solver with a can-do attitude? Maybe that person is you! You may nominate as many people as you like. It's a great way to say "Thank you for all you've done!"

Deadline to submit your nomination is 4pm, Friday, April 8, 2005.

The Paralibrarian Advocate of the Year

This person knows the value of paralibrarians in our libraries, and has worked to increase visibility and opportunities for non-MLS staff.
