Dear Colleagues, just a reminder that this year the Crime Writers' Association Dagger in the Library Award has been brought forward by 4 months, and nominations must be in by 1st April (unfortunate date, but there it is). The award, sponsored by Random House, is nominated and judged entirely by librarians, although of course many people seize this opportunity to involve Readers' Groups.The conditions for nomination are as follows - Libraries have until 1st April (but sooner would be great!) to produce nominations - up to 3 per library or Readers' Group. Each individual library or Readers' Group may nominate, so that any authority can submit as many forms as it has libraries and Readers' Groups. Supporting statements are not essential, but they are most welcome, and do help the judges make their decision. As an extra incentive, all libraries whose authors are short-listed for this award will be entered for a draw for two free tickets to the CWA Dagger Awards ceremony in London in November, where the winner will be announced. Any queries can be e-mailed to me or to: [log in to unmask] Details and forms are available at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/files/LIS-PUB-LIBS/2006CWAFlier.doc and are also on the CWA's website - www.thecwa.co.uk There has also been a flier in a recent Gazette, and there'll be one in the next PLJ. I'd be very grateful if this e-mail could be forwarded to other appropriate colleagues within your authorities - last year's nominations were a resounding success and it would be splendid to equal or outstrip them. Many thanks, Judith Rhodes (Chair of Judges, Dagger in the Library Award) --------------------------------------------------- Judith Rhodes Stock Services Librarian Leeds Library & Information Service [log in to unmask] tel. 0113 214 3328 ________________________________________________________________________ The information in this email (and any attachment) may be for the intended recipient only.
