Awards to Libraries & Organizations

NJLA strives to honor libraries for exceptional service and contributions to their local communities and to the library community as a whole. There are a variety of individual awards given to those with outstanding or innovative contributions within the library and the community; awards to libraries for excellence through public relations, marketing, and technology; and awards to recognize journalistic coverage of important library events.

Scholarships are offered for study leading to a graduate or postgraduate degree in librarianship. Awards are made on an evaluation of credentials and personal interviews with candidates. All awards are to be used for a graduate library education program that allows the graduate eligibility for a New Jersey Professional Librarian Certificate. Previous applicants and recipients are eligible to apply.
