WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins is seeking library nominations for the 2010 National Medal for Museum and Library Service. Nominations are due by January 15, 2010.
 
“Libraries provide invaluable services and programs to Kansans, and they deserve to be recognized for public service,” Jenkins said. “I encourage all libraries throughout Eastern Kansas to submit nomination applications.”
 
Libraries interested in being nominated should call (785) 234-5966 with questions or visit the Institute for Museum and Library Service’s website at www.imls.gov/about/medals.shtm.
 
Jenkins continued, “From connecting Kansans to educational resources, information and ideas to hosting innovative outreach programs, libraries across Eastern Kansas are vital resources to the communities they serve. It will be an honor to nominate a Kansas library to receive this distinguished award.”
