The Children's Round Table annually recognizes the professional achievements of one of our members by bestowing the Siddie Joe Johnson Award. Named for Siddie Joe Johnson, a Children's Librarian and Coordinator of Children's Services for the Dallas Public Library for many years, the Award recognizes an outstanding Texas Librarian and member of Children's Round Table who works with children from preschool to eighth grade and who has been active within the last twelve months. Siddie Joe Johnson was a published poet and author, as well as the recipient of awards from the Poetry Society of Texas and the Texas Institute of Letters. She was also honored by the American Library Association for her work in children's library service. Outstanding/innovative programs, exemplary job performance, proven leadership ability, service in professional organizations, an active role in the community, support of parental involvement and interaction with colleagues in libraries beyond their own district or system are factors considered when evaluating nominees. The nomination process requires submission of the official application which is available through the TLA website under the awards page heading: http://www.txla.org/html/awards.html. . Supporting documentation is limited to 5 pages and may include letters from colleagues and employers as well as examples of work, news articles, publicity, previous commendations, etc. A letter of support from an immediate supervisor is also required. The recipient will be honored at the 2010 Texas Bluebonnet Award Luncheon at the TLA Annual Conference in San Antonio, Texas. Last year's recipient was Jacqueline Bridges-Sheppherd from West Elementary School in Arlington. This award is a great way to recognize the outstanding work children's librarians are doing in our public and school libraries. Please consider nominating one of your colleagues (or yourself) for this high honor. The deadline is January 29, 2010.
