The Fox River Valley Public Library District’s Public Relations team has been recognized with a 2025 Blue Pencil and Gold Screen Award from the National Association of Government Communicators (NAGC) in the category of Crisis Communication Plan.

The Blue Pencil and Gold Screen Awards are presented annually to acknowledge excellence in government communications across local, state, federal, tribal, and military agencies. This prestigious program honors outstanding communication efforts produced or implemented during the previous calendar year, with entries evaluated by expert judges from across the country.

The Fox River Valley Public Library’s recognition highlights the team’s thoughtful, strategic, and effective communication planning during times of uncertainty.

“It’s an incredible honor to have our work recognized on a national level. Our team puts so much heart, thought, and dedication into communicating with our community—and this award is a reflection of that commitment,” said Corinne Vargas, Public Relations & Outreach Manager.

This national award underscores the Library’s continued commitment to clear, timely, and transparent communication with the public it serves.
