ImagineIF to Receive National Award
By IMAGINEIF LIBRARIES
ImagineIF Libraries were re- cently selected to receive one of the most coveted national library awards, the John Cotton Dana Li- brary Public Relations Award. From 77 entries, ImagineIF was chosen as one of only eight winners nation- wide.
ImagineIF was selected for the award based on the library’s re- branding and new model of library service, programming and commu- nity involvement. The awards com- mittee recognized the risk required to rebrand completely to reflect a new generation of libraries. The award also highlights how Imagin- eIF Libraries have been able to make a big impact in our communities
with very limited resources.
“This award is a testament to the
amazing transformation our librar- ies have seen over the past few years. Coupled with the Montana Library of the Year Award, we are honored to be recognized nationally as a 21st century library,” ImagineIF Librar- ies Director Kim Crowley said.
ImagineIF will receive the John Cotton Dana Award, along with a $10,000 cash award provided by EBSCO and the H.W. Wilson Foun- dation, at a celebratory reception at the American Library Association’s Annual Conference this June in San Francisco.
All the winning entries can be viewed online at https://johncotton- dana.nonprofitcms.org/a.
ImagineIF Libraries encourage explo- ration, fresh ideas and self-discovery. For more information, visit www.imagineiflibraries.org
