Library Ireland Week will take place from Monday 30th November to Sunday 6th December 2020 and this year’s theme is “Libraries Endure: Continuity in a Crisis”.
Library Ireland Week is as much about librarians and the library sector as it is about raising awareness about the diverse and impactful work that happens in libraries all over the country every day. To mark and acknowledge library
staff for their contributions to the sector, Library Ireland Week 2020 are promoting the Library Staff Champion Award.
The Award aims to recognise some of the many extraordinary people working in the library sector across the island of Ireland. Library Ireland Week is as much about librarians and the library sector as it is about raising awareness about
the diverse and impactful work that happens in libraries all over the country every day. To mark and acknowledge library staff for their contributions to the sector, Library Ireland Week sees the awarding of the Library Staff Champion
Award.
The Library Champion Award
Package comprises of:
• Voucher & Engraved
Trophy,
• an electronic signature marking the Award,
• free membership of the
Library Association of Ireland for 1 year after the award,
• free membership of CILIP for 1 year after the award.
Nomination Process
Library Staff are asked to
nominate a colleague you feel embodies the positive impact library staff all
over the country bring to their workplaces every day. The judging criteria will
be:
Transformative contribution
Inspiring colleagues
Contributing beyond their
immediate role/organisation
Impact at local/community, organisational or national level
Those nominating staff are asked to explain why they are nominating their colleague for the award under these headings. These are what the judges will review
to select the winner(s). The nomination process is not onerous so we are asking staff to look around, think about the huge impact of libraries this year and take the opportunity to acknowledge a colleague they feel is a great representation
of the work that we all do in the library sector.
Completed online nomination forms must be completed by midnight Wednesday 2nd December. Nominate a colleague using the nomination form.
A shortlist and winner(s) will be announced to mark the conclusion of Library Ireland Week 2020. All information can be found on the website.
