PLA has honored the Gilpin County Public Library (GCPL) with the EBSCO Excellence in Small and/or Rural Public Library Service Award. This award honors a public library serving a population of 10,000 or fewer that demonstrates excellence in service to its community.
GCPL will receive this year’s $1,000 award honoring its innovative and creative “artist-in-residence” program. Beginning in the summer of 2008, with the financial backing of the Friends of the Library, the GCPL offered a Poet-in-Residence to the community, who held a series of workshops for people of all ages on writing, reading, and appreciating poetry of many varieties.
This is the second year in a row that a Colorado library has won the EBSCO Award (it was John C. Fremont Library District in 2009).

The crew at the John C. Fremont Library decided to celebrate right in the middle of the 16th Street Mall at ALA Midwinter. They are smiling because they just learned that EBSCO awarded them the Excellence in Small and/or Rural Public Library Service designation, which garners them a plaque and $1,000. Congrats!
