The following news reaches us from Ellie Coady from IAML (UK & Irl):
Congratulations to Jacquie Cooper from West Berkshire Libraries who has been awarded a Cilip Public Library Staff Award! Jacquie was presented with the award of Public Librarian 2014 on 12th August for being ‘a public librarian who is active at the very centre of her community’.
Some of you will know Jacquie from past IAML conferences (she was Secretary of the then Courses, Conferences and Meetings Subcommittee) and Jacquie continues to handle music requests for West Berks, an authority which is a member of the South East Performance Sets Interloans Group (SEPSIG).
Please see here for the article and some pictures. A fuller interview with Jacquie (where she mentions IAML) can be found on Public Libraries News and here.
Well done Jacquie!
