ATG Media is pleased to announce the recipients for the third annual Up and Comers award. This award is intended for librarians, library staff, vendors, publishers, MLIS students, instructors, consultants, and researchers who are new to their field or are in the early years of the profession. Up and Comers are passionate about the future of libraries. They innovate, inspire, collaborate, and take risks. They are future library leaders and change makers, and we are excited to celebrate them with this award.

 "A big congratulations to all of our award winners," says Leah Hinds, Executive Director of the Charleston Conference. "I'm so pleased to see all of the innovation and the many accomplishments that are displayed here, and I look forward to seeing what the future brings for these bright rising stars."

"It's truly a humbling experience to learn about the exciting and thoughtful work this year's crop of Up & Comers are doing to advance excellence, equity, and visibility in academic libraries," says Erin Gallagher, Electronic Resources Librarian at George A. Smathers Libraries, University of Florida, and Charleston Conference Director who organizes the Up & Comers Awards each year. "The future of our profession is bright! I can't wait to get to know more about them and to meet them at this year's Charleston Conference!"

We will recognize the award winners in person at the Charleston Conference First Time Attendee Reception on Tuesday, November 5, at 7:00 pm in the Colonial Ballroom of the Francis Marion Hotel.
