Nominate a writer or publisher by January 9, 2022
Each year, the Friends & Foundation of Albany Public Library selects a new outstanding person of letters to be honored as our Literary Legend. Our annual Literary Legends gala celebrates these writers and their contributions to the community.
The FFAPL invites the public to nominate writers for the selection committee to consider.
Please include the following information with your nomination:
- your name
- your nominee’s full name
- their connection to Albany and/or the Capital District (e.g. did they grow up in Albany? Do they currently live or teach here?)
- a bibliography of published works (and, if you are nominating a publisher, editor or translator, please explain your nominee’s role in the titles listed), and
- why you believe your nominee should be honored this year as an APL Literary Legend.
This year, we are again receiving nominations via paper or via Google forms.
Paper nominations should be mailed to us. Write down the relevant information on a card. If you are an FFAPL donor, there will also be a nomination form on your Annual Appeal letter. Mail your nomination to Friends & Foundation of Albany Public Library, 161 Washington Ave, Albany, NY 12210.
Electronic nominations may be submitted via this Google Form–> https://forms.gle/G4eHvK2kVF3vr2vH9
Nominations must be received by January 9, 2022 for consideration by this year’s Selection Committee.
The Literary Legends Selection Committee includes members of the Friends & Foundation board, past Gala Chairpersons, and APL librarians.
