Outreach Services Award


The Outreach Services Round Table is the proud sponsor of the Outreach Services Award, presented annually to a “library or librarian who has provided exemplary library outreach services to underserved populations.”
The award may be for a specific project or projects or for outstanding lifetime achievement in outreach services.  Applications for the Outreach Services Award are due September 1, 2013.
The award was inspired by the former Special Needs Consultant for the Wisconsin Division for Libraries, Technology and Community Learning, Frances de Usabel. Frances worked diligently and successfully to advance outreach services in Wisconsin public libraries for many years. Public, academic, school or special libraries and librarians are all eligible and encouraged to apply.
Nominees should be members of the Wisconsin Library Association but need not be members of the Outreach Services Round Table--the winner will receive a one-year membership in the Outreach Services Round Table. The amount of the award is $250. The award will be presented at the WLA Annual Conference Awards Banquet.
If you have any questions about this award, please contact the current board chair.
