Library-goers now have the opportunity to show some love for their favorite librarians by nominating them for an American Library Association’s I Love My Librarian award.

This is the eighth year the awards are being handed out, and up to 10 librarians nationwide will be honored with an I Love My Librarian award. Winning the award also comes with $5,000, a plaque and a travel stipend to attend the official awards ceremony in New York in December.

Nominees should be working in a public library, a library at an accredited two- or four-year college or university or at an accredited K-12 school.

Nominate your favorite librarian here. Nominations will be accepted through Sept. 28.
