The American Library Association (ALA) has awarded the I Love My Librarian Award to 10 librarians across the United States, recognizing their exceptional contributions to their communities. The winners, including Armou from the University of Florida Libraries, were selected for their efforts in areas such as cataloging Native American artifacts, assisting displaced residents, supporting underprivileged students, and improving access to resources in remote communities.

Other librarians selected include Jamar Rahming of Delaware’s Wilmington Institute Free Library, where celebrity speakers have included Dolly Parton and LeVar Burton; and Theresa Quiner of the Kuskokwim Consortium Library, where she has worked to improve access to books and other resources for patrons in the remote community of Bethel, Alaska.
