Awards

Library Directory Associates Award (LDA)
Purpose:
The LDA Award provides recognition to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to libraries on Long Island. By honoring the winner we honor all the people who contribute to the profession.

Eligibility:
Librarians, trustees, support staff, friends of the library, vendors and publishers.

What To Do:
Fill out the nomination form and send it back with your nomination packet. Prepare a nominating statement of approximately 500 words that describe the accomplishments of your candidate and why he or she is worthy of consideration for the LDA award. The Award Committee may not know this individual, so be clear and specific, but not elaborate in your presentation. The three letters of support which accompany this statement in your packet of information should not be submitted by persons affiliated with the nominating agency. The letters should address the six criteria listed above. The scoring will be based on how well the criteria was addressed by each candidate. Submit six (6) copies of all documentation.

Congratulations to 2011 winner, Tom Tarantowicz, Brentwood Public Library
