LEWISTON – Health science librarians in the state chose Happy Copley to receive the Eleanor C. Cairns Distinguished Maine Health Sciences Library Information Consortium Librarian Award for 2006.

Copley has been a librarian at St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center for 10 years. Peers nominate and select the award winner for advocacy or service in the library profession, leadership, support, contribution and commitment to the consortium; leadership in administration, technology or education; authorship, research, teaching or other educational contributions; and inspiration to others in the library field.

She received the award last month at the Maine Hospital Association’s Allied Health Luncheon at the Samoset Inn in Rockport.
