Presented annually, the Michigan Library Awards honor excellence, dedication, and outstanding service in the Michigan library community. The awards recognize library professionals, advocates, and institutions that support the highest quality library services, ensure access to information, and safeguard the right to read for all Michiganders.
These awards give us an opportunity to celebrate, and champion, the many librarians, library workers, and advocates who provide meaningful services and create lasting connections in their communities,” said Jenny Marr, President of the Michigan Library Association. “Your wins, your creativity, and even the challenges you overcome are what keep Michigan’s libraries strong — across our schools, campuses, public, tribal, and special libraries. What you do matters deeply, and we’re grateful for your service.”
The 2025 honorees were unveiled on Wednesday, October 29, during the Michigan Library Awards Gala in Lansing. Each recipient was selected through a peer-review process for their exceptional achievements.
Congratulations @hharrisbrady !!! How can we read more about the Year of Reading?
