Cheryl, who was nominated for the award by New Jersey State Librarian Mary Chute and former Deputy State Librarian Kathi Peiffer for her hard work joining four vibrant, but independent regional cooperatives into one state-wide cooperative. New Jersey was very well-represented at the ASCLA Awards Reception, as you can see by the photos below. Congratulations, Cheryl!
