Outstanding Library Advocate Award
The Oustanding Library Advocate Award began in 2022 to expand the recognition of library advocacy beyond the field of journalism.
This award goes to someone who is not necessarily a librarian, but who has contributed to a library or to the profession in some significant way. An advocate can be a volunteer, paraprofessional, town official, teacher, principal, professor, trustee, sponsor, supporter, or ally – anyone whose advocacy of the profession warrants praise. Previous recipients include:
| Award Year | Recipient's Name | Recipient's Action / Contribution |
| 2022 | Evelyn A. | 5th grade student Evelyn A. offered public testimony before a School Committee for a book challenge at the York Middle School Library. |
