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.
