Hey librarians, we love you and we know our customers do, too. We are proud to promote the I Love My Librarian Awards to our Metro Library Community. In September we will share information on social media for our community to participate in and nominate MLS Librarians for the I Love My Librarian Awards. All staff are encouraged to also share their librarian love and submit nominations as they wish. Nominations are due by September 27th for the 2022 Awards.
Our literature blogger Tracy likes literary prizes. Although she rarely predicts the winner, and is often disappointed, she feels the prizes generally do more good than harm. If nothing else, a prestigious literary prize keeps a (usually) good book in print, generates publicity, and hopefully sells a few more copies. Check out Tracy's picks for the gold medal.
Autumn is here, leaves are falling, and the literary world is humming with activity as the Nobel Prize in Literature, the Man Booker Prize and National Book Award have been handed out for 2015. It was shaping up to be the Year of the Woman, did it turn out that way? I've got the scoop for you. Dive right in!
Now that Great Britain’s Man Booker Prize committee has narrowed the list to six eligible works of fiction (the shortlist), we Yanks have gotten into the act with the recent announcement of the 2015 National Book Award Longlist for Fiction. It is quite an honor to make the list; publishers submitted a total of 419 books written by U.S. citizens and published in the U.S. for consideration. Follow me, Dive Right In, on the Dog-Eared Blog, and I’ll keep you up to date on the exciting results.
