  • 1.  2026 ALA LIRT Awards

    Posted 3 days ago

    In this season of gifts and gratitude, consider gifting someone else or yourself the honor of a LIRT Awards submission!  

    The ALA Library Instruction Round Table (LIRT) welcomes your submissions for two awards created to recognize excellence in information literacy and instruction. Submissions from all types of libraries (public, school, special, academic) are encouraged. Winners will receive a $1,500 award, a plaque, and a $1000 stipend to be used to attend the 2026 ALA Annual Conference. 

    • The LIRT Librarian Recognition Award honors a practicing librarian for their contributions to information literacy and instruction.  

    • The LIRT Innovation in Instruction Award honors a library for their innovative approach to information literacy and instruction.  

    Submissions will be accepted until January 15, 2026. For full details on how to apply for these awards or to nominate someone to receive them, please see the LIRT Awards site (http://www.ala.org/rt/lirt/awards).  

    We look forward to receiving your submission! 

    On behalf of the LIRT Awards Committee,
