As in, “What librarian springs to mind as the perfect candidate for Librarian of the Year?” You, yes, you!, can spring into action and make the nomination that will allow this wonderful person’s achievements to spring into public view and acclaim! To make a nomination, simply: • Write a nomination and include at least five letters of support • Gather and send copies of newspaper articles, recommendations, and other materials • Make sure that the nominee is a current personal member of NDLA (verify with Membership Chair Kathy Thomas at Kathryn.Thomas@ndsu.edu) • Send the packet of information to Phyllis Bratton, Raugust Library, 6070 College Lane, Jamestown, ND 58405, by August 1, 2010 Wanted! Major Benefactor Award And while you’re at it, you can also plant an idea in the mind of the committee for the winner of the Major Benefactor Award. There are lots of board and community members out there who have cultivated support for the library and helped to reap a wonderful harvest of books, buildings, and programs. To make a nomination, • Write a few paragraphs describing why this person or family deserves the award • Supply whatever documentary evidence is available • Send the packet of information to Phyllis Bratton, Raugust Library, 6070 College Lane, Jamestown, ND 58405, by August 1, 2010 Thanks to all who help to make our profession bloom! Warning: Due dates are closer than you think. Act now. Books In Print for North Dakota Correctional Libraries Our North Dakota correctional libraries have many patrons who want to request books by author, title, and/or subject, but they don’t have reliable source information. It would be helpful if the patrons had Books in Print (BIP) to look up what they want instead of guessing at names and spellings, which can make filling interlibrary loan requests difficult. Multiple copies of BIP are needed since there are several areas in a prison from which the prisoners are not allowed library access. The newer the copyright the better, but we could use any editions of BIP published in the last ten years (2000 to 2010). Your gift would be appreciated and very well used.

People’s Choice: Krista Tiller Submitted by Paulette Nelson, Minot Public Library Krista Tiller, Young Adult Librarian from Minot Public Library, was the People’s Choice Winner in a recent fashion show held at the Mountain Plains Library Association Conference in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. “Stacked: Fashion Off the Shelves” was a fashion show featuring one-ofa-kind library fashions designed by creative librarians throughout the region. All apparel had to be made from at least 50% library materials. Conference attendees had the opportunity to vote on their favorite model/outfit. Each vote cost participants $1.00 with proceeds benefitting the Information Matrix Camp and the Oklahoma Library Association Endowment. Krista raised $263 for the cause. Krista’s outfit was a casual card catalog fringed skirt matched with a passionately plum tee proclaiming the Summer Reading slogan, “Dragons, Dreams, and Daring Deeds.” The simple tee showed off her classy Kat-five cable necklace complete with rubber stamp charms. This charming piece of jewelry was paired with sensational property stamp earrings that allowed Krista to really put her own stamp on library Left to right: Paulette Nelson, Julie Reiten, Jerry Kaup, Krista Tiller, and Jeanne Narum, all from the Minot Public Library fashion. Krista accessorized her ensemble with a regal 33-1/3 rpm record chapeau that was festooned with feathers and fringe. Krista’s sleek, simple, and novel purse was ideal for carrying the most essential library fashion accessory … THE LIBRARY CARD! A fun time was had by all the librarians attending the event, which took place a short walk from the conference center at Oklahoma City’s Ronald J. Norick Library. What would North Dakota be like if there were no libraries? What valuable services do we provide on a daily basis that simply go unrecognized and unappreciated? Those are the questions the North Dakota Library Association asked to encourage librarians to take a snapshot of a typical day in the life of North Dakota libraries. The project ran from April 1 through April 30, and the goal was to show how important libraries are in our communities and state. To see the photos and read the compiled statistics, go to http://ndla.info/snapshot/. Christine Kujawa, Maren Niemeier, and Beth Sorenson served on the committee to make SnapShot ND! a reality.
