WCDPL seeks nominations
The Wood County District Public Library invites patrons to thank a staff member for going the extra mile with a nomination for the John M. Gibson Award.
The award was started by the library’s board of trustees in 2005 to recognize excellence in customer service.
Any WCDPL employee, except the library director, deputy director, and past Gibson Award winners, is eligible for the 2025 award. The nomination deadline is Wednesday, Aug 27, at 4 p.m. Nominees can only submit the name of one staff member.
The board of trustees will select the recipient from nominations submitted by library users and WCDPL staff members and then recognize all nominees when the award is presented on Friday, Oct. 17.
Nomination forms are available and may be submitted at the main library in Bowling Green, at the Walbridge Library, 108 N. Main St., and on the Bookmobile. They may also be submitted online at wcdpl.org/john-gibson-award.
