There will be a social hour with entertainment from 6-7 p.m., dinner from 7-8 p.m., and awards from 8-8:30 p.m. This event is our annual thank you to the staff, trustees, and mayors/village presidents of SCLS member libraries for their support and efforts throughout the year. Entertainment for this year's event will be provided by a Jazz Ensemble from Sun Prairie Area High School.
The following awards -- which will be selected by SCLS staff, and approved by the Advocacy Committee -- will be presented during this year's System Celebration. Nominations were accepted through June 15, 2009.
- Library of the Year Award --
Recognizes a public and/or multitype library for its innovative user service(s). You may nominate your own library or any other library of any type that you think deserves the award. The library will be recognized with a certificate and a check for $200 (if one award is given) or $150 each (if both a public and multitype award are given.)
- Public Official Award --
Recognizes the outstanding contributions to a library or libraries by a mayor, village president, city administrator, supportive council member, legislator, or any other public official who does not serve as a library trustee and whom you feel should be recognized.
- Special Award --
Recognizes an individual or group that has worked to promote and/or improve library services. Individuals may be a resident, a trustee or a library friend (does not have to be a member of an official Friends group). This award is NOT for a library, librarian, or public official.
- Chester Pismo Snavely Award for a Nifty Activity --
Recognizes a library, other organization, or persons' out-of-the-ordinary nifty library activity or service.
- Partnership Award --
The SCLS Partnership Award is presented each year to a community organization, agency or business that works with the South Central Library System or its member libraries to provide new and innovative library programs and services. In some cases, a member library may also be acknowledged in conjunction with the community partner.
