The Texas Municipal Library Director’s Association awarded the Cedar Park Public Library with the 2014 Achievement in Library Excellence Award at the Feb. 26 City Council meeting. Recipients must meet 10 areas of criteria to garner the award, including conducting a summer reading program; creating proof of marketing materials for the library and its events; and investing in collaborative efforts with schools, museums and other libraries, according to the TMLDA. TMLDA, which began in 1966, aims to promote the public library profession, improve the methods of providing library service and maintain high standards of professional ethics. CPPL is one of 37 libraries in Texas to receive the award in 2014, along with the Pflugerville and Round Rock libraries.
