[AISLE-Share] AISLE Awards - Apply Today!

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

Hello all,

As this summer starts to wrap up, it is a good time to think about the
AISLE fall awards.  Do you know a member of our association that has done
an amazing program, made an outstanding contribution to a school library in
Illinois, or an administrator that has been supportive of your work and
program?  Now is the time to submit your nominations.  Please consider
nominating yourself or someone else for the Polestar, Upstart, and
Administrator of the Year Awards. Find more information about the awards at
www.aisled.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 AISLE Fall
Conference. More information can be found at: *aisled.org/polestar.htm
<http://aisled.org/polestar.htm>*. The deadline for the Polestar Award
is *September
1st **at 11:59 PM. Submit applications via email to **grantsawards at aisled.org
<grantsawards at aisled.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 AISLE Fall Conference. More
information can be found at: aisled.org/upstart.htm. The deadline for
the Upstart
Award is *September 1st **at 11:59 PM. Submit applications via email
to **grantsawards at aisled.org
<grantsawards at aisled.org>*.

The *AISLE 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 AISLE Fall
Conference. More information can be found at: *aisled.org/administrator.htm
<http://aisled.org/administrator.htm>*. The deadline for the AISLE
Administrator of the Year Award is *September 1st **at 11:59 PM. Submit
applications via email to **grantsawards at aisled.org
<grantsawards at aisled.org>*.
