2004 Federal Depository Library of the Year Award Nomination Deadline
Extended Until July 16
To ensure that all eligible depository libraries have ample time to be
nominated for GPO's Federal Depository Library of the Year award, the
nomination deadline has been extended from May 1, 2004 to July 16, 2004.
What is the Award?
The Federal Depository Library of the Year award provides special
recognition for a library that furthers the goal of the Federal Depository
Library Program by ensuring that the American public has free access to its
Government's information through:
* Outstanding service to meet the Federal government information
needs in the library's service area
* Creativity and innovation in developing specific community
programs for use of Federal government information or a dramatic increase in
their community's usage of Federal government information
* Leadership in creating public service programs that can be
emulated by other Federal Depository Libraries
What are the Benefits of Winning? Here's What Last Year's Winner Has to Say:
"Winning the Federal Depository Library of the Year award enabled us to
increase awareness of our library in the community and among our colleagues.
It also gave us the "bells and whistles" we needed to raise our profile with
our library board. I think any depository library could greatly benefit from
winning."

The chosen library will be announced at an award ceremony, which will take
place during the fall 2004 Depository Library Conference and meeting of the
Depository Library Council. The conference will be held in Washington, DC
from October 17-20, 2004. GPO will provide travel to and lodging during the
Conference for the depository coordinator and library director from the
winning library.
