[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Hello all,

As we are getting back in the school year routine, please make sure you are
nominating yourself or someone else for the Polestar, Upstart, and
Administrator of the Year Awards. Find more information about the awards at
www.islma.org.


The *Polestar Award* is given to honor members of the Association who have
made outstanding contributions to school library media programs in
Illinois. The recipient will be honored with this award at the ISLMA Fall
Conference. More information can be found at: www.islma.org/polestar.htm.
The deadline for the Polestar Award is *September 1st **at 11:59 PM. Submit
applications to grants-awards at islma.org <grants-awards at islma.org>*.


The *Upstart Award* is given annually to recognize a school library media
center’s achievement in planning and implementing an innovative or creative
event or service which has made a measurable positive impact on its users.
The award encourages innovation by asking applicants to highlight the way
the library used all of its resources (which may include staff,
administration, faculty, volunteers, and the community) to make this a
successful event or service.  This award is not meant to recognize an
overall library program but a specific event or service that adds to the
success of the overall library program.  The event may be a one-time,
one-day occurrence, or it may take an extended time to complete. A *$1000.00
award *and a plaque will be given at the ISLMA Fall Conference. More
information can be found at: www.islma.org/upstart.htm. The deadline for
the Upstart Award is *September 15th **at 11:59 PM. Submit applications
to grants-awards at islma.org <grants-awards at islma.org>*.


The *ISLMA Administrator of the Year Award* is given to recognize the
meritorious support of a school library program by a building or district
level school administrator (a person whose position requires the
administrative license such as- but not limited to- a superintendent,
principal, or curriculum director) during the previous school calendar
year. The recipient will be honored with this award at the ISLMA Fall
Conference. More information can be found at: www.islma.org/
administrator.htm. The deadline for the ISLMA Administrator of the Year
Award is *September 1st **at 11:59 PM. Submit applications
to grants-awards at islma.org <grants-awards at islma.org>*.
