LEADS from LLAMA

Have you had success with a library marketing campaign? If so, share your story– and you could win $10,000 for your library. The H.W. Wilson Foundation, Library Leadership & Management Association, a division of ALA, and EBSCO Publishing are excited to announce that chances to win a John Cotton Dana (JCD) Award have increased tremendously. Now there are 8 awards, and the amount for each winner has gone up to $10,000!
Presented since 1946, JCD Awards honor outstanding public relations efforts by a library, whether it be a summer reading program, a year-long centennial celebration, fundraising for a new college library, an awareness campaign, an innovative partnership in the community, etc.
Be sure to submit your entry detailing the public relations initiatives at your library by March 15, 2012. Award winners will be announced in April. The cash development grants will presented at an elegant reception, hosted by the Foundation, during the American Library Association Annual Conference in June 2012, in Anaheim.
