2026 ARSL Awards

About the ARSL Awards
Awards are based on nominees' accomplishments during the preceding year (January-December 2025), with the exception of the Distinguished Service Award that can take into account nominees' career-long community engagement. Nominators were asked to describe their nominees' commitment to ARSL's Organizational Values, as well as the strength of their professional practice in the focus area of the award for which they are being nominated.
Individuals or organizations can be nominated for multiple awards, but will only be able to win one award per year. Self-nominations and nominations of eligible libraries/library workers by non-library individuals or organizations are acceptable.
All recipients will be recognized during the Awards Ceremony at the 2026 ARSL Conference. In addition to receiving their award, all recipients will receive one (1) complimentary conference registration ($400 value) each so they may be honored in person and celebrated by their ARSL community.
