The Indiana Library Federation (ILF) is pleased to announce that the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library (EVPL) is the recipient of the 2015 Outstanding Library Award.
EVPL’s range of services, leadership endeavors, outstanding programming and community collaborations shows a commitment to excellence in library service.
The EVPL will also receive the Collaboration Award for the 2014 One Book One Community/Evansville Remembers community collaboration. Working with nearly a dozen cultural and educational organizations, the collaboration provided a multi-faceted focus on the Holocaust and World War II through a variety of events.
In addition to these awards, the library will receive the Programming Award. The EVPL offered more than 2,400 programs in 2014, ranging from robotics classes and film series to music events and history programs, drawing nearly 58,000 attendees.
It is unprecedented that one library receives this many awards in one year. “The awards committee noted that Indiana is fortunate to have EVPL serving as a role model to other libraries,â€said Susan Akers, ILF executive director. “They lead by example.â€
The EVPL will receive these awards at the ILF awards banquet on November 1
