With great excitement, the Youth Services (YSS) and School Library Media (SLMS) Sections of the New York Library Association (NYLA) announce following winners for 2008:
Thank you to all the librarians who promoted this award and to the students who voted and participated in the awards process through their school and public libraries.
The purpose of this award is to reward excellence among young library workers, both to exemplify the high standards sought in library staff and to encourage investigation of librarianship as a career goal.
This practical manual from the Council of State Archivists describes the records that protect a family’s finances, health, civil rights, and family history. Some, such as deeds and mortgages, may be obvious to readers, but others, such as leases, proof of intellectual property, and certain tax records, are easily forgotten in the moment of crisis. The manual prompts readers to think through all the records that may help their family survive disaster and return to normal afterwards.
The 24-page manual is available for $10, plus $3 postage and handling, from the Council of State Archivists.
