YAACS Award

The Young Adult and Children’s Services Sections established the YAACS Award in 2012 to recognize exceptional service in the area of children’s or teen librarianship in British Columbia. The Young Adult and Children’s Services Award invites nominations of librarians, library technicians, teacher-librarians and others who have, as individuals or teams, demonstrated exceptional dedication in such areas as:

• Commitment to quality service to children, teens, caregivers and supporting organizations
• Collaboration and partnerships with their community
• Promotion of family literacy
• Innovation and creativity applied to the benefit of young people

Completed nomination forms may be sent to the YAACS Award Committee at YAACSaward@gmail.com. Individual nominees or institutions (in the case of a team nomination) are required to be BCLA members. The deadline for nominations is Friday, March 23, 2018.

The YAACS award will be presented at this year’s BCLA Annual Conference at the YAACS AGM (to be determined shortly).
Yours sincerely,
