These are precisely the qualities and achievements that we wish to acknowledge through the Agatha Bystram Award, says Scott, who presented the award. She added that similar qualities were exhibited by five other nominees, who received honourable mentions. Gwynneth Evans, the Library s Director General of National and International Programs, was the Master of Ceremonies. The jury was chaired by Marianne Scott. The award takes the form of a plaque, which will be on permanent display at the Library.
Winners also receive framed certificates.
