Nominations for the 2020 F A Sharr Award are now open!
The Sharr Award was first presented in 1976 and Western Australian
librarians, teacher librarians, or library technicians within their first three
years following graduation are encouraged to apply and the Award is
presented to the applicant who exhibits the most potential to make a
significant contribution to the library profession in WA.
Due to not proceeding with selection of F A Sharr Award recipient last
year due to the COVID-19 shutdown, the ALIAWest committee has decided to extend
eligibility for an extra year. The 2020 award is open to those who graduated in
or after January 2017.
The Sharr Award winner receives a $500 bursary to spend on professional
development activities, not to mention the honour of being amongst past recipients of this significant
industry award!

yourself forward now!
