Annual Outreach Award
This annual award recognizes, commends, and publicizes outstanding library service by our member libraries to traditionally underserved groups and people with special needs. Any library user, staff member, board member, or volunteer may submit a nomination for:
1) a member library's
overall service to outreach populations,
2) a specific library program, service, or resources which expands
FLLS's library and information services to outreach populations
(including partnerships), or
3) an individual or group who makes a library's outreach program
possible.
