I am currently writing an essay on excellence in Ontario libraries and thought an examination of those that have won an award would be a good place to start. Can anyone tell me who was on the selection committee for the Angus Mowat 2010 Award or where I can find their names. I've looked everywhere and come up empty.

Thanks, Alberta.

Here is the answer I received from the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Culture

"The names of the PLSA jury members are confidential but they are all representatives of the Public Library community in Ontario and include organization reps, a First Nations representative (North and South alternating), a Francophone rep, large and small library reps. 9 jurors in total.

Libraries decide on their own whether they want to make a submission for and PLSA and the number can be different any given year."
