Library Journal names their Movers and Shakers for 2019!

The Movers and Shakers 2019 award from Library Journal is a big deal! We are so proud of CMLE supporter and long-distance member Violet Fox, who is honored in the Advocates category for her outstanding advocacy work in the cataloging field.

From the article:
“She credits her approach to her experiences in the zine librarian and #critlib communities. “We need help from [others] so we can build a classification that’s as just and equitable as possible,” says Fox.”

Also in the Advocates category is Minnesotan librarian Carol Jackson from the Ramsey County Library for her excellent programming work.

Learn about the recipients of the Movers and Shakers 2019 in this excerpt below and check out the full article here!
“They give patrons the intellectual, emotional, and technological tools to become their best selves. They provide solutions to move the needle on critical issues such as literacy and health, race, social justice, and gender bias.

They do this and more with powerful professional and personal commitment. They help kids become readers and give them agency to lead on inclusivity, diversity, and international understanding, work with the unhoused and those with criminal records while upholding their dignity, and change the way their libraries interact with students and faculty and the way students and faculty innovate and collaborate.”

Congratulations to the 2015 Movers and Shakers!

Library Journal (LJ) has been recognizing 50 Movers & Shakers each year since 2002, and this year’s 50 have been announced!  Library Journal says that Movers & Shakers “are passionate about what they do, … and they are committed to the mission of the library as an engine of democracy.”  After you’ve taken a look at this year’s lineup, check out the map of Movers & Shakers to see how each state – and country – stacks up.

Congrats 2014 Library Movers and Shakers!

NCBrianMovers and Shakers was launched in 2002, and it spotlights librarians and others in the library field who are doing extraordinary work to serve their users and move libraries and library services forward. The Class of 2014 brings the total number of Movers to over 650. According to Library Journal, “…it was difficult to select just 50 people to honor from the more than 225 nominations we received. There’s not one Mover, however, who hasn’t told us that they couldn’t succeed without their colleagues, so, in effect, the Movers & Shakers represent hundreds more who work in and for libraries.”

Take a look at this year’s lineup and consider following these individuals through your social networking tools too! To review the full U.S. map  from 2002 through 2014….

Has Minnesota had Movers and Shakers? Why of course….and they are….
