Search is on for exceptional libraries of 2007
From the announcement:

The first ever Love Libraries Award, run by The Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA), will recognise and reward libraries that demonstrate innovation in services for teenagers and young people under 25, and encourage them to use the library time and time again. The award will promote the outstanding contribution libraries make in young people’s lives.

The winner of the Love Libraries award will receive a Trophy and £2000 towards the project.

Any public library authority in England can nominate themselves for an award, either for a project being run by one single library, or by several libraries who are all jointly involved. The project must be innovative and creative, and demonstrate impact in inspiring young people. The project must have been running for at least six months.

Nomination forms are available from www.lovelibraries.co.uk/lovelibrariesaward. The closing date for nominations is 29 June, and a judging panel will select a shortlist of finalists. Members of the public will then be invited to vote for their favourite finalist, and the outcome will determine the winning project, along with the judges’ votes.
