PURPOSE
The purpose of this award is to recognize exemplary practices in learning resources/libraries
within Florida’s 28 community colleges.
The award also serves to increase awareness of the role that learning resources/libraries
play in support of the community college mission and in support of student success.
Since 2007, each year two awards are given - one for a MLS Librarian and another
for a Library Support Staff member. Each winner will receive $250, a plaque,
and priceless recognition from colleagues!
