YAACS Award
Seeking Volunteers for the 2014 Committee
At the 2013 BC Library Conference, the Young Adult and Children’s Services section was honoured to present our second annual YAACS award to two fantastic librarians: Ellen Heaney and Amy Dawley As 2014 rolls around, we are looking for a new set of committee members to receive nominations and select the winner of the 2014 YAACS Award. We are interested in including representatives from libraries across the province, and with a range of experience, from new graduates to seasoned veterans. Committee members are not required to be currently working in youth services, only to have an interest in this area. YAACS Award is looking for two 2 year term committee members and two 1 year term members. If you are interested in participating, please email YAACSaward@gmail.com.
