Can you hear the virtual fanfare emanating from the Canadian Library Association?
You must, because the announcements of winners were
published in April and the award winners are receiving their awards right now at the Canadian Library Association's annual conference in Ottawa this year. From extraordinary shortlists to outstanding winners, the
selection committees have once again done their association proud.
