Every year, the Institute of Museum and Library Services honors outstanding institutions that make significant and exceptional contributions to their communities. And every year, the Institute of Museum and Library Services also provides extraordinary support for communities through libraries and their patrons. So, this year, we’d like to send our special congratulations to this year’s winners and a show of support for libraries.
The 2017 National Medal Library Winners
Cedar Rapids Public Library (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) Long Beach Public Library (Long Beach, California) Richland Library (Columbia, South Carolina) University of Minnesota Libraries (Minneapolis, Minnesota) Waterville Public Library (Waterville, Maine)
It takes time, dedication, and hard work to receive such an honor. Each winner embodies what we should all aspire towards: to strengthen and bolster our communities nationwide. For that, they have our highest respect and admiration.
And while the Institute of Museum and Library Services has played a major role in supporting our shared mission for more than 20 years, they are on the verge of losing vital federal funding.
Please join in our effort to support those who help us all go above and beyond
for our communities. Ask your U.S. Senators to sign the FY 2018 LSTA and IAL
