Public libraries are invited to compete for a $25,000 award designed to recognize those who attract new patrons through an implementation of ideas and innovation.  The award will be given to the top NH public libraries, museums, and historical societies that show the greatest increase in membership from the period between November 1, 2007 and October 31, 2008.  The deadline for the application is March 1, 2008.  Applications and information were sent via van/mail to all public libraries.  For more information, contact Michael York at michael.york@dcr.nh.gov  (or call 271-2392).

This is the time of year to take some library education courses without having to thaw out the car - or pay for gasoline! Electronic online courses are available through WebJunctionNH to NH library staff and Trustees AT NO CHARGE to you, as the NH State Library has purchased them for you. Log in to WebJunctionNH and choose the "Courses" tab at the top of the page. You will find a wide variety to choose from.

To help you get time at work to take e-courses, NHSL has created a totally voluntary course registration form, which you may submit to your library supervisor. Go to the NHSL E-Course Registration Form
