Annual Friends of Connecticut Libraries Awards 2025

Dear Friends,

The Friends of Connecticut Libraries invites our Friends Groups to take part in our 2025 awards. This is an opportunity to recognize talented people in your organization or the entire Friends group and nominate them for one of the Friends of Connecticut Libraries Awards.

Did your group try something new this year? Did you realize a major goal? Do you know of people who made things happen or provided extraordinary support to your Friends organization? It is a wonderful way to honor your members who work hard and effectively for your organization.

The awards will be presented at our annual meeting on June 21, 2025, at the Avon Public Library in Avon. The winning Friends will receive this recognition in the company of people who understand and personify dedicated library service.

You know who has performed activities to support your library. Please tell us about these wonderful accomplishments. It is a competition for these awards, but you'll never know how you will do it unless you submit an entry. Time is on your side – forms must be postmarked by May 1, 2025, but don’t set it aside too long. We can never thank our volunteers enough!

The Awards form is available at link below. The completed form should be mailed as directed; please note we are asking that the summary (no more than 1,000 words) be given electronically in a Word processing format.

If you have any questions about the awards, please do not hesitate to call me at 203-525-5674 or write me at foclawards@gmail.com.
