This came across my email today and I thought it looked like a great way to recognize the fabulous elementary and middle school librarians in our midst.  It’s super-fun to nominate amazing people for being amazing…Just saying…
Do you know a creative elementary or middle school librarian/library program? Nominations are due by April 30 for SLJ’s Build Something Bold award.

The criteria includes:
  • ·         Creativity in space and program design
  • ·         Effectively integrating curricular objectives toward enhancing literacy through hands-on activity
  • ·         Demonstrated student engagement and impact on learning
  • ·         Cost-effectiveness and ease of replication

Nominations can be made by applicants themselves or administrators, peers, or institutions. A winner and two finalists will receive cash awards and be profiled in an SLJ feature story. The winner will also receive a classroom pack from sponsor LEGO Education.
