 to our region.  The Awards Committee will be charged with reviewing the <a href="https://www.neo-rls.org/2017-2018_honorees_and_award_w.php">
current awards </a>and making recommendations for their continuation or discontinuation.  In addition, the Committee will make recommendations for new awards to recognize individuals and libraries within our region.  Do you have ideas for a meaningful award? 
 Do you want to help form the criteria for awards or aid in selecting the winners?  Do you want to present the awards at our Annual Membership Meeting and Appreciation Breakfast?  Then, we want YOU on our Committee.  If you are interested or have questions,
