[Sara Kelly Johns <sarakellyjohns@YAHOO.COM>]

Posted on behalf of SLMS President Carole Kupelian and Award Chair Maxine Kamin:

Welcome back to the new school year.  Enjoy your Labor Day holiday, especially the 
 surprising number of you who are already in classes.



A few years ago we moved the deadline for nominations for SLMS awrds to the fall so 
that the winners could more easily arrange to be present at the spring conference 
to receive their awards in person.  The following message  from the Awards Chair, 
Maxine Kamin, gives the details of each award and the deadline for applying 
for/nominating the candidates for these awards.




Applications for the following SLMS awards are now being accepted. The deadline is 
Tuesday, November 17, 2009. 

All application/nomination criteria and forms are available online at:

http://www.nyla.org/index.php?page_id=609



The Beatrice E. Griggs Elementary Administrator's Award and the Secondary 
Administrator's Award are awarded to building or district administrators

who have effectively supported the maintenance and improvement of a School Library 
Media Program in NY State.



The following awards are presented to current members of SLMS/NYLA:



The SLMS/Gale Conference Award provides $500 for a direct service school library 
media specialist to attend a full SLMS Conference, being held

The SLMS/Follett Scholarship Award provides $750 for continuing education in the 
field of School Library Studies to a certified SLMS currently employed in NYS.



The Robert E. Barron Cultural Media Award provides $500 towards the purchase of 
humanistic non-book materials to enrich the library collection.



The Beatrice E. Griggs Scholarship Award provides $1,000 plus SLMS conference 
registration for an individual currently enrolled in a program, including online 
programs outside of New York State, that leads to certification as a New York State

SLMS, employed in NYS, to attend the annual SLMS Leadership Retreat held the first
