Betty Davis Miller Award @ FLA

Posted Monday, December 22, 2008 by pgorshe, Library Staff

The Betty Davis Miller Youth Services Award is given for children's services (ages twelve and under) in even numbered years and for teen/young adult services (ages 13 through 18) in odd years. The award is given for a program of service and not to an individual. Areas of programming can include but are not limited to:

  • Collection development
  • Reference and information services
  • Informational and recreational programs
  • Outreach to the community

Nominated programs should be outstanding examples of direct service to youth. Outstanding is defined as unique, distinctive, exceptional, notable, praiseworthy or exemplary. Programs may be new or creative adaptations to existing programs. They should promote reading, literacy, or library use and be directly related to the mission of the library where they were presented. For the 2009 award, nominated programs must have been presented between September 2007 and August 2008. Greater consideration will be given to programs that can be replicated or modified for use in other locations. Application due date: February 28, 2009
