The ALA Public Programs Office is accepting nominations for the 2012 Sara 
Jaffarian School Library Program Award for Exemplary Humanities Programming. 
School libraries, public or private, that served children in any combination of 
grades K-8 and conducted humanities programs during the 2010-2011 school year 
are eligible. Applications and award guidelines are available at 
www.ala.org/jaffarianaward. To be considered, nominations must be received by 
the ALA Public Programs Office by December15.
 
The award consists of a $4,000 honorarium and a plaque, to be presented at the 
2012 ALA Annual Conference in Anaheim. Additionally, the winning program will be 
promoted as a model program for other school libraries on 
www.ProgrammingLibrarian.org, a library programming resource center. To be 
considered, applicant libraries must have conducted a humanities program or 
program series during the prior school year (2010-2011). The humanities program 
can be focused in many subject areas, including but not limited to social 
studies, poetry, drama, art, music, language arts, foreign language and culture. 
Programs should focus on broadening perspectives and helping students understand 
the wider world and their place in it. They should be initiated and coordinated 
by the school librarian and exemplify the role of the library program in 
advancing the overall educational goals of the school.
 
To find inspiration for your application, be view and archived presentation of 
the 2011 Jaffarian Award winner’s program, “Harmony With Voice”:
