Non-MLA Awards


Allie Beth Martin Award (ALA)

The Allie Beth Martin Award provides recognition and a $300 honorarium to a librarian who, in a public setting, has demonstrated (1) extraordinary range and depth of knowledge about books or other library material and (2) distinguished ability to share that knowledge. The award was established by the Public Library Association Board of Directors in 1978. After its 1993 fall meeting, the PLA Executive Committee notified PLA Award Chairs that the word "librarian" is defined as a professional possessing a Master of Library Science degree. Therefore, persons, not having earned an MLS are ineligible to receive the Allie Beth Martin Award. For more information, please go to the Allie Beth Martin Award web page on the Public Library Association website.
