With the craziness of the past few weeks, we kind of all deserve an award! But SLRI has only budgeted for the ones below. Each description has a link to the web page that lists submission guidelines, a rubric, and a link to the nomination forms.
All nominations are due by Sunday, April 26. Email slri.awards@gmail.com with any questions, and stay safe and healthy! - MM
Mini Grant

Wilfred Berube Award for Administrative Excellence
The Wilfred Berube Award for Administrative Excellence honors the memory of Wilfred Berube, the founder of the Rhode Island Educational Media Association (or RIEMA, now known as SLRI).

Linda Aldrich Leadership Award
The Linda Aldrich Leadership Award honors the life of Linda Aldrich, library media specialist at Bristol High School and vice-chairperson of the Middletown School Committee when she died in 1989.
