Given
annually by Library Juice Press, the Vattemare Award recognizes
contributions in the LIS field that are marked by originality, creative
energy, and novel combinations of ideas. Considerations in selecting the
awardee are their creation of new possibilities for libraries and
library workers, the creation of new means of benefiting the community
that the library serves, and the ultimate success of these efforts. The
award is open to librarians, other library workers, and community
members (in any country). The award may be given to an individual or a
group, based on a particular project or creative work over an extended
period.
The award consists of $1000 and a framed certificate.
Nominations
should include a letter and sufficient materials for evaluation; more
is better. Nominations are due on May 1st of each year.
Materials may be
sent to inquiries@libraryjuicepress.
Alexandre
Vattemare, the remarkable 19th century ventriloquist and pioneer of
library resource sharing, is the inspiration for the award.
