Systematic– Public Library of the Year Award 2015 open for applications

The Danish Agency for Culture is looking for applications for its Systematic - Public Library of the Year Award 2015. The target group is public libraries, i.e. municipality libraries. Applications can be made by individual municipalities. A municipality may apply in co-operation with relevant advisors.The prize is US $ 5,000, which will be given to the municipality. Second and third prizes are also awarded, and winners will receive a diploma.

The library must be a new public library. This means that it must have been completed during the period 1 January 2013 - 15 June 2015. The definition of a new library in this connection is a library that has been newly built from scratch, or a library that has been set up in premises that have not previously existed as a library.

The award will be presented on August 16th at the IFLA congress in Cape Town, South Africa.
