Certificate of Merit

Distinguished Achievement Category I
Presented in recognition of distinguished service to the profession and for active and innovative leadership in the development of libraries and the improvement of library services. Candidates must have been a member of the Minnesota Library Association in 2006 and 2007.

Distinguished Achievement Category II
Presented to a recipient who is in actual service as a trustee, friend, etc. during all or part of 2006. Recognition is given for constructive accomplishment rather than length of service alone, and includes, but is not limited to, such activities as assisting the library director in developing sound library policies, interpreting the library to the community, fundraising and advancing library service on the local level, regional or statewide level. Candidates must have been a member of the Minnesota Library Association in 2006 and 2007.
