Schaumburg librarian recognized for youth programs

Amber Creger, youth department director for the Schaumburg Township District Library, has won the prestigious Davis Cup award from the Illinois Library Association's (ILA) Youth Services Forum.

This annual award, sponsored by the ABDO Publishing Company, recognizes an individual who has made an outstanding contribution in library youth services.

Creger is responsible for the development and delivery of services for children and teens at the library's three locations in Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates and Hanover Park. Her ideas have resulted in replacing the library's traditional summer reading program with a Summer Challenge, adding more play space to kidsZone and providing interactive equipment that promotes motor skills and creativity.
