FOCL Awards Program

Since 1983, FOCL has been recognizing outstanding local Friends organizations, groups and individuals in Connecticut.  We believe it is important to recognize those who have provided dedicated service to their libraries at our annual meeting each June.  The awards serve as an opportunity for our membership to publicly thank groups and individuals to whom they owe so much.  In addition to presenting each award winner with a framed certificate, FOCL contributes $100 to the parent Friends group.

The awards are selected from three population groups and have three categories:

• Friends Group Award: Focused on the total effort (breadth and depth) of the Friends group
• Individual Achievement Award: Given to one or two individuals for exceptional service including lifetime achievement
• Focused Project Award: A project usually accomplished or orchestrated by a small group or committee
