Aponte named Librarian of the Year
 José
Aponte, Executive Director of the Pikes Peak Library District, has been selected
as the 2004 Trejo Librarian of the Year Award by REFORMA, a national affiliate
of the American Library Association that promotes library and information
services to Latinos and the Spanish-speaking community. Each year REFORMA
recognizes a colleague who has made exemplary contributions to the library
profession in service to the Latino community.
In selecting Aponte, the Librarian of the Year Committee noted, “His
outstanding library work -- locally and nationwide, contributions to REFORMA,
and the promotion of Latino culture make him a model to follow by new and
veteran librarians alike. He validates our belief that librarians can make a
difference. Librarians can be successful at what they do at local and national
levels.”
The award will be presented on Saturday, June 26 at the American Library
Association Conference in Orlando, Florida.
