Congratulations to Nicholas Spillios, who has been chosen as the first ALA Retired Members Roundtable (RMRT) member to receive the Norman Horrocks-Scarecrow Press Annual Conference Award.

The $1,000 Award, sponsored by Scarecrow Press, was established in 2011 to honor the accomplishments of Dr. Norman Horrocks, who contributed to ALA throughout his life and was a member of the Ad Hoc Committee that worked to establish the RMRT. The travel grant will help retired members of the RMRT to defray the costs of attending an ALA Conference.
