The closing date for nominations is Friday 28 September 2007.

The competition will highlight and celebrate the excellent work being done by new members of library staff and challenge traditional stereotypes of people who work in libraries.
The top ten will be chosen by last year’s winning ‘Young Librarians of the Future’, who were rewarded for their passion and commitment to the library service.
Tabitha Witherick was selected for her involvement in establishing the Somerset Libraries local community information project, and expanding the service from a library initiative to a county council and voluntary sector partnership.
Micheal Stead of Bolton Library Service was selected for his innovative use of new technologies to enhance and expand the reach of the library service.
Richard Pemberton for his efforts in encouraging more teenage boys into the library, through playstation clubs, homework clubs and informal reading groups.
This year it could be you!
