Several categories had multiple nominations, which made choosing just one person very difficult. Thank you to all who nominated these worthy individuals. Personally, I think all ULA members are winners!
My sincere thanks to Anita Albright of Salt Lake Community College for her expertise in helping with the awards committee again this year.
H. B. 135 – Grants From Department of Community and Culture includes $9 million for the Board of Directors of the Utah State Library, Utah Arts Council, the Museum Services Advisory Board, and the Board of State History. This bill includes about $2.7 million in grant dollars for Utah libraries and it requests the Utah State Library Board "submit a request to the Governor and Legislature for prioritized capital facilities grants."
This is not in the Governor's Budget, but USL has supplied and we are supplying information through our Department of Community and Culture, at the request of Representative Allen from Davis County. H.C.R. 3 - Concurrent Resolution - Declaring Love Your Library Week -- Clark, S http://le.utah.gov/~2008/htmdoc/hbillhtm/hcr003.htm
Please ask your legislator to sign the bill so the entire state can celebrate and recognize libraries during National Library Week this year.
