The nominations deadline for ACRL’s 2026 awards program has been extended to Friday, December 12.
ACRL’s awards recognize and honor the professional contributions and achievements of your peers. This special recognition enhances the sense of personal growth and accomplishment of our members, provides our membership with role models, and strengthens the image of our membership in the eyes of employers, leadership, and the academic community as a whole. The annual presentation of our prestigious awards and grants to these deserving individuals and institutions enables ACRL to honor the very best in academic librarianship.
Please consider acknowledging those who have influenced your thinking, practice, and growth as an academic or research library worker. ACRL urges you to nominate colleagues whose work you admire, and whose contributions merit recognition by the profession. Nominations for most awards must be submitted by December 12, 2025.
More information, including award details, submission procedures, past winners, criteria, and contact information, is available in the awards section of the ACRL website.
