In recognition of the excellent service that E. H. Butler Library provides to its patrons, the Western New York Library Resources Council (WNYLRC) gave the annual Outstanding Library Award to Butler Library in October.

“We are thrilled and delighted to receive this award,” said Maryruth Glogowski, associate vice president for library and instructional technology, “especially during these times of fiscal challenge. It’s good for our staff to know that their hard work is recognized and respected.”

The award emphasizes service and pays tribute to creativity and innovation in program development, leadership in creating new or enhanced services that other libraries can emulate, and improvements in physical facilities that result in better service. The WNYLRC is a consortium of libraries and library systems serving six Western New York counties. Its members include academic, corporate, hospital, public, school, and special libraries.
