Mary Ann Mongan Award Form

The Mary Ann Mongan Literacy Award was created in honor of Mary Ann Mongan. Ms. Mongan was the original executive director for the Kenton County Public Library district. She started her library career in 1958 as the manager of the Covington Library. When the Kenton County Public Library District was formed in 1967, Ms. Mongan was selected as the director. She retired from this position after 41 years of service. Her dedication to literacy and libraries made her an inspiration for this award which was created in her honor in 2009.

Using the form below, nominate an individual or organization that has shown tremendous work in the area of literacy in Kenton County. The individual does not need to live in Kenton County but must work or volunteer in Kenton County. Please refer to the previous award winner videos for examples of past recipients. Nominations will be open until October 31, 2025. Please do not share with the person being nominated as we like it to be a surprise.

You do not need to send supporting documents. Current staff of the Kenton County Public Library are not eligible.
