[Angela Thullen <athullen@ALA.ORG>]

The ALA Public Programs Office is still accepting nominations for the
2009 Sara Jaffarian School Library Program Award for Exemplary
Humanities Programming.  School libraries, public or private, that serve
children in any combination of grades K-8 and conducted humanities
programs during the 2008-2009 school year are eligible. Applications and
award guidelines are available at www.ala.org/jaffarianaward. To be
considered, nominations must be received by the ALA Public Programs
Office by December 15.

The award consists of:

*       a $4,000 honorarium 
*       recognition at the 2010 ALA Annual Conference in Washington, DC
*       promotion of the program as a model for other school libraries.

The Sara Jaffarian Award was established to recognize and promote
excellence in humanities programming in elementary and middle school
(K-8) libraries. It is presented annually by the ALA Public Programs
Office, in cooperation with the American Association of School
Librarians (AASL), and named for Sara Jaffarian, whose donation to ALA's
Cultural Communities Fund established the award. Jaffarian, a retired
school librarian and long-time ALA member, spent her career passionately
advocating for school libraries in every school. For more information on
the Sara Jaffarian award, visit www.ala.org/jaffarianaward.
