Did your Friends of the Library carry out an outstanding project or a
number of successful activities in your community during 2014 that had a
significant impact on your library’s services to the community?

The FOML Outstanding Friends Group Merit Award will be given to a
Michigan Friends group for a specific project carried out in 2014 or based
on the full scope of the group’s activities during 2014.  Applications will
be judged by the FOML Membership & Marketing Committee on the following
criteria:

*Planning:*  Involvement of the Friends, library, and community in the use
of resources, an innovative and appropriate activity, and measurable
outcomes (e.g., attendance at event, increase in patron use of the library,
etc.).

*Implementation:*  Public relations, broad membership involvement, and use
of resources.

*Evaluation:*  Assessment of activity or program with measurable results.

*Innovation:*  New idea(s) for program or activity, creative involvement of
community and specific citizens, and creative use of public relations.

*Community Involvement*:  Evidence of community involvement in planning and
implementation.

The winning Friends group will receive $400 and a plaque, with an
invitation for two members of the winning Friends Group to attend the
FOML Annual Membership Meeting and Workshop free of charge in April of 2015
to receive the award.

To be eligible for this award, *your Friends group must be a 2014
