IMLS Announces 15 Library Finalists For 2014 National Medal for Museum and Library Service

March 3, 2014 by Gary Price

15 library finalists along with 15 museum finalists for the 2014 National Medal for Museum and Library Service were announced earlier today by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS).

From the Announcement:

The Institute of Museum and Library Services today announced 30 finalists for the National Medal for Museum and Library Service. The National Medal, the nation’s highest honor conferred on museums and libraries for service to the community, is celebrating its 20th year of saluting institutions that make a difference for individuals, families, and communities.
“Museums and libraries serve as civic engagement centers, providing invaluable educational, social, and skill-based resources to their communities,” said Susan Hildreth, director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. “The 2014 National Medal finalists have gone above and beyond to create an environment that allows individuals to learn, play, connect, and remain curious.”

Share your story about these libraries and museums on the IMLS Facebook page.
