The Kenton County Public Library is accepting nominations for the 2025 Mary Ann Mongan Literacy Award.
Mary Ann Morgan was the first executive director of the Kenton County Library, overseeing the institution’s transformation into a cornerstone of the community. To honor her 41 years of contributions, the Kenton County Public Library Foundation continues her legacy through the Mary Ann Mongan Literacy Award.
“Literacy opens doors, fuels imagination and creates opportunities,” Executive Director of the Kenton County Public Library Dave Schroeder said in a news release. “By nominating someone, you are shining a light on the people who strengthen our community through learning.”
Nominations are now being accepted for the 2025 award, which honors an individual, educator, organization or volunteer who has made an exceptional impact on literacy in Kenton County.
Community members can submit an online form to explain why their nominee deserves recognition. Nominations are accepted until Oct. 31. The winner will receive a $250 check from the Foundation, an award, and a permanent spot on the library’s recognition plaque.
