    Posting this here in case there is any interest:

    It's time to nominate librarians, library workers and supporters for the California Library Hall of Fame.  https://www.cla-net.org/page/405#Award_information
    The California Library Hall of Fame honors the historical significance and lifetime achievements of the many librarians, library workers, and supporters who have helped promote and improve library services in California.  When evaluating librarians and other library workers, the Committee looks for those who have completed or our nearing completion of their professional careers.  This doesn't necessarily apply to library supporters.
    We especially want to see some nominations of librarians from early years who haven't yet been added to the Hall of Fame.  Nominations of more contemporary librarians are welcome as well.
    Here's last year's inductees.  https://www.cla-net.org/page/405  (scroll down to see the names) Here's a list of earlier inductees.  https://www.cla-net.org/page/612
    The nomination period ends on July 14, 2025.
    Please contact me for any questions that you might have.  DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL.  Email me directly at dmcfadden@swlaw.edu
