WEST Vancouver Memorial Library won two awards in the annual PR Xchange competition, which recognizes the best public relations materials produced by libraries in the past year.
WVML's 2011 Story Book received an Advocacy (Print) Best of Show Award. The Story Book showcases the library's history, community partners, 2011 accomplishments and facts and figures.
The 2012 North Shore Writer's Festival received a Special Programs/Exhibits/Events (Print) Best of Show Award. In 2012, WVML hosted the annual festival and developed material to promote the event.
WVML's entries were selected from nearly 250 print and electronic pieces submitted for 10 categories from more than 90 institutions across North America including public, academic, school, state and special libraries.
The awards are sponsored by the Public Relations and Marketing Section (PRMS) of the Library Leadership and Management Association, a division of the American Library Association. Award certificates were presented June 30 in Chicago.
