Staff -- School Library Journal, 1/1/2001

We hope that when you've finished reading this month's cover story about the first-ever Giant Step Award winner (see pp. 54-58), you'll be inspired to apply for the award yourself. The annual Giant Step Award honors the school library or public library that has made the greatest strides in its services to students. The award, which is sponsored by School Library Journal and the Gale Group, carries a $10,000 prize.

Guidelines are available on our Web site (www.slj.com/articles/articles/20010101_9438.asp) and the Gale Group's Web site (www.galegroup.com), or by calling the Gale Group at (800) 877-4253. Applications must be received by May 31, 2001.
