Lemony Snicket Honors Noble Librarians

At the upcoming American Library Association's annual summer conference, Daniel Handler himself will present the first ever

Lemony Snicket Prize

for Noble Librarians

                Faced With Adversity.

This award is described by Handler/ Lemony Snicket as follows:

      “It is of the opinion of Lemony Snicket, author, reader, and alleged malcontent, that librarians have suffered enough. 

      Therefore he is establishing an annual prize honoring a librarian who has faced adversity with integrity and dignity intact. . . . 

      It is Mr. Snicket’s hope, and the ALA’s, that the Snicket Prize will remind readers everywhere of the joyous importance of librarians and the trouble that is all too frequently unleashed upon them.”
