The AzLA Service Award Committee is happy to announce the selections for the 2017 Service Awards. Thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate deserving colleagues. It is truly appreciated! Without your work writing nominations and gathering letters of recommendation, this work could not happen. We had many nominations this year and each one worthy of an award. While it is always a difficult decision to have to select only one, special thanks goes to the following participating members of the committee for their excellent committee work in service award selection: Chair Ingrid Trebisky (Pima County Public Library), and committee members Margie Trujillo (Farmer (Pima County Public Library), Kelly Akin (College and Academic Libraries), Denise Gullikson (Mohave Community College), Hannah Stewart (Yuma County Library District), Michelle Hjorting (Prescott Valley Public Library), Betsy Redman (Arizona State University), Diane Ward (Pima County Public Library), Rachel Castro (University of Arizona), Jamie McCraw (Grand Canyon University), and Coni Weatherford (Pima County Public Library).
