The Florida Library Association has announced its annual awards. Congratulations to the following NEFLIN members who were honored:
Librarian of the Year – Paul Clark, Clay County Public Library who, on his own time and his own initiative, advocated tirelessly for state funding for libraries during the 2010 legislative session.
