Honor that outstanding paralibrarian you’ve worked with over the
past year who consistently provides excellent service to everyone and goes
above and beyond the call of duty each and every day. Give them the
opportunity to be recognized by their peers at this year’s annual MLA

description and created new and exciting opportunities for paralibrarians while
they demonstrated outstanding support for their valued colleagues.
