Optional donations are being accepted towards the Larry Moore Challenge, awarded tri-annually to encourage and foster leadership in innovation in librarianship and libraries in Canada. The Ontario Library Association has led innovation in Canada by supporting and investing in some of the country's most ambitious projects. The Larry Moore Fund wishes to encourage this kind of seminal thinking and to provide a catalyst for the generation of ideas that will keep library and information centres relevant and useful to everyone who would use them, virtually or in person. Apply in Fall 2012 for next year's award. Information about timelines and criteria is available online at www.accessola.com. Tax receipts will not be issued for donations through this venue due to administrative complexity. If you wish to make a larger donation and receive a tax receipt please contact the OLA Office or visit www.accessola.com THE MASSAGE ZONE OLA AND OLA DIVISIONAL AWARDS SUPER CONFERENCE APP Each year OLA honours the outstanding work of members and member institutions that further the ideals and values of the library and information sector.
