National Medal for Museum and Library Service form and cover sheet

The National Medals are designed to recognize outstanding libraries and museums that have made significant contributions in service to improve the wellbeing of their communities. These institutions exceed expected levels of community outreach beyond a single program or exhibit by building community cohesion and serving as catalysts for positive community change. Nominees should review the IMLS strategic plan and highlight how their work aligns (e.g., promoting lifelong learning, building institutional capacity, increasing community access). In this submission, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) requests a renewal of the clearance for the web-based National Medal for Museum and Library Service Nomination Form for its recognition program of outstanding libraries and museums. The current clearance expires June 30, 2024. The information collection in this package includes the form and instructions necessary to nominate organizations for the national recognition from IMLS.
