Congratulations were sent by Ruth Kelly, Minister of State for Education and Skills, England, who wrote: I know that effective school librarians can be a great asset to their schools, supporting learning and teaching as well as helping students develop skills for life. I should like to send my congratulations to all of the honour list librarians on this significant achievement and to the School Library Association for creating this new award.
The final winner of the award will be announced later in the summer. The nomination period is now open for the next award and nomination forms are available from slya@sla.org.uk
