Librarians in our nation’s 123,000 libraries make a difference in the lives of millions of Americans every day. Now is your chance to tell us why we should shine the spotlight on a librarian at your public, school, college, community college or university library. Nominate your librarian for the Carnegie Corporation of New York/New York Times I Love My Librarian Award!

Up to ten librarians will be honored. Each will receive $5,000 and be recognized at an awards ceremony hosted by The New York Times at TheTimesCenter in December 2009.

Nominate a librarian in one of three categories: public librarians; school library media specialists; or college, community college, or university librarians.

Nominations close Oct. 9, 2009.

Maurice Sendak's Arbuthnot lecture, Descent into Limbo, in the Summer/Fall 2003 issue of ALA's Children & Libraries ??

I'd really appreciate it. I'm slowly transcribing the video http://mitworld.mit.edu/video/65 but a) I keep getting caught up in the lecture and missing my place and b) I can't listen well at work, because 'my' lad is sleeping so no turning up the sound or earphones (the one might disturb him, the other I might miss something, a change in his breathing, for intstance).

Thank you in advance. .doc, .rtf, .pdf- they all work for me. And please let me know if I need to pay you for costs, copying, postage, anything like that.

Pass the word for me? I can really use this transcript for some articles I'm writing for An Ounce of Prevention. Thank you so very very much.

(I'm also looking for an article by Patricia Moccia, RN, from American Journal of Nursing ca 1992, titled "Are We Dying for Nuclear Weapons?" I have a paper copy someplace, but not handy, and not enough time/money to go through ordering it online/uni library. Just in case someone here can access it "free" (your time/trouble will be reimbursed in some way- fic, postcards from Europe, some other research I can do for you) I'm asking. Thanks!)
