The WNYLRC Awards Program was established in May 2007 to recognize the achievements, talent, and dedication demonstrated by our colleagues, member libraries, and supporters of libraries that exist in Western New York.  We encourage all staff including librarians and support staff to consider nominating a deserving colleague.
