One of the highlights of each conference is the occasion at which the West Virginia Library Association recognizes constructive accomplishments and meritorious achievement in West Virginia library service, publishing, and writing. Awards may be conferred on an 33 outstanding West Virginia library trustee, a librarian, an outstanding citizen who has made a significant contribution to library development, a publisher, or author.
Four types of awards are given:
A. Certificate of Merit for service to libraries and librarianship in West Virginia.
B. The Dora Ruth Parks Award for long and outstanding service to libraries and librarianship.
C. Literary Award for an outstanding publication. It has been the policy to present this award to a West Virginia author. However, exceptions may be made for contributions to Appalachian literature.
D. Library Innovation Award
If you feel so moved, please submit your nominations, along with a letter stating why you are making this nomination, to Heather Campbell (campbell@wvhumanities.org) as well as David Owens (David.owens@cabellcountylib.org) by September 14th at 2:00 pm.
