The Gwinnett County Public Library’s Innovative Librarians Award, which is co-sponsored by the School of Information at San José State University, is open to all students who are currently enrolled and pursuing a graduate degree in Library Science, or who have graduated with an MLS/MLIS within the past two years.

The Innovative Librarians Award recognizes those library science graduate students who put forward new ideas that improve libraries and library services. Whether large or small, these ideas have the ability to change the way people experience libraries. Nominations are judged by public librarians with years of frontline, managerial, and administrative experience.

Five finalists are selected from all properly submitted applications, and one entrant is selected from the five finalists to receive a $1,000 cash prize.
