Congratulations to Glen Carbon Centennial Library, which was recently named Best Small Library by Library Journal! Below is an excerpt from the article, which you can read in its entirety here.

“Smiling librarians greet you by name when you arrive at the Glen Carbon Centennial Library (GCCL), IL. After that great welcome, you notice that everyone is still smiling, and no matter whom you ask on that small staff of 15, they’ll tell you they love working there. If you probe a bit further, they become downright passionate about the place and offer you a set of services and a model in how they run their library. This attitude and the execution behind it earned the library LJ‘s Best Small Library in America Award 2010, sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.”
