The ILA Awards Committee is excited to announce that nominations for the 2026 ILA Awards are now being accepted!
ILA awards recognize excellence in librarianship and library services in Illinois. The time has come to recognize colleagues, friends, managers, mentors, mentees, or anyone else who exemplifies leadership and/or dedication to their library and fellow librarians.
Please consider resubmitting a nomination if you previously submitted one, and your nominee did not receive an award.
The nomination deadline for all awards is Friday, May 15.
The complete list of awards is available on the ILA website. If you have any questions about award nominations or if you would like to resubmit a previous nomination, please contact ILA Communications and Engagement Manager Tamara Jenkins, at tjenkins@ila.org.
