The list of exemplars and legendary names in ALSC history goes on.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time again to think about our ALSC leaders and exemplars, and consider nominating one of them for the 2018 ALSC Distinguished Service Award. Any member of ALSC\/ALA can nominate any other ALSC\/ALA member; full details and the nomination form may be found here:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ala.org\/alsc\/awardsgrants\/profawards\/distinguishedservice\">http:\/\/www.ala.org\/alsc\/awardsgrants\/profawards\/distinguishedservice<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Augusta Baker. Peggy Sullivan. Jane Botham. Dudley Carlson. Pat Scales. The roster of names reads like a history of the division, and the profession of children&#8217;s library service.<\/p>\n<p>The criteria are simple and elegant: &#8220;The nominee should be an individual who has made significant contributions to, and an impact on, library services to children and to the Association for Library Service to Children.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Carolyn Field. Virginia Mathews. Zena Sutherland. Lillian Gerhardt. Maggie Bush. Many DSA winners have served as ALSC President, but that&#8217;s not a requirement.<\/p>\n<p>Ginny Moore Kruse. Margaret Kimmel. Marilyn Miller. Phyllis Van Orden. Cindy Richey. All DSA winners have dedicated their careers and their volunteer time, effort, and leadership to bettering children&#8217;s lives through libraries.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the earlier winners&#8217; prot\u00e9g\u00e9&#8217;s have now won it themselves. Who will be named next as the most distinguished of us all, based on a record of service and impact? Think about those who inspire you, and who are not yet represented here, and consider making a nomination before the December 1 deadline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill Morris.
