PLA award

[Pilsitz, June]

Do you know a librarian with an extraordinary range and depth of
knowledge about books, electronic resources, and other library
materials?  Does that person possess outstanding communication skills as
well--through booktalks, presentations to community or professional
groups or in written reviews?

The Public Library Association's Allie Beth Martin Award honors such a
person every year.  The Award provides recognition and a $3,000
honorarium which are presented at the PLA President's Reception at the
summer ALA annual conference.

Nominate a deserving colleague today.  The deadline for nominations is
December 1, 1998.  Nomination forms are available from the PLA office in
Chicago or on the PLA Web site:  http://www.pla.org/awards/index.html
