AWARDS 2007-

This page is for awards for which either I have nominated a person or persons, or that I myself have earned. Unfortunately, I have not earned an award yet. Give me time I am working on it......

2007

In 2007, I nominated Dale Spindel and Karen Brodsky for the New Jersey Library Association Service Award. I have worked with them since I joined the NJLA PAC Sub-Committe concerned with salary matters in 2004. At that time and for several years afterward they served as very capable Co-Chairs of the Committee. They have served the NJ library community well and made great strides for establishing recommended minimum starting salaries. AT the 2007 NJLA Annual Conference in Long Branch, NJ Dale and Karen received this award.

2008

In 2008, I nominated Robin Martin for the Monmouth University "Dr. Martin Luther King Unsung Hero Award." Robin, is the tireless journalist who writes the "Our State Of Mind" column for  The Link News, a Long Branch, NJ weekly newspaper. She attends many events of interest to people in the multicultural community and reports on these and other items regularly in her column. She brings news to many who would normally be out of the communication loop. An excellent writer she deserved recognition for her work. In January 2008, Robin received this award.

2009

This year I nominated L. Frank B. Blaisdell for the New Jersey Library Association award for the NJLA Library Champion. Mr. Blaisdell, of the Norwood Insurance Agency in Long Branch, NJ, has for the past ten years or more paid the cost of a full page ad in our local weekly newspaper The Link News. This page has allowed the library to once a month present news about the library services and events of note. In exchange for the add The Norwood Agency has a banner at the bottom of the page advertising their services to the community. It is a win win situation for everyone involved and helps us get the word out to the public about our activities. Mr. Blaisdell was indeed selected the winner of the NJLA Library Champion Award and a certificate was given to him during a ceremony at the NJLA Convention in April 2009.
