2023 NCLA Student Library Ambassador Program

Announcing the return of NCLA’s Student Library Ambassador Program! We are seeking one K-12 or college student from each of North Carolina's 14 congressional districts to serve as advocates by showing their love and support of libraries. Each winning student ambassador from each individual district will receive a free t-shirt, framed certificate, and be profiled on NCLA’s website and social media. 3 Grand Prize winners will be selected to visit local congressional offices to discuss the importance of libraries with their representatives.

This year’s theme is There’s More to the Story. Libraries are full of stories in a variety of formats from picture books to large print, audiobooks to ebooks, and more. But there's so much more to the story. What’s your library story? Why are libraries important to you and what keeps you coming back? We want to know.

How to Enter:

Create an essay, video, presentation, etc. to tell us your library story and what libraries have meant to you in your life. All submissions should answer the following questions:

1)    Why are libraries important to you?
2)    How have libraries impacted you personally? (What’s your library story?)
3)    How are libraries important for the future of North Carolina?

Submit via website, fax, email, or mail by Monday, March 27th, 2023
