Notice of Award Rescinded
On August 8th, Former North Dakota Senator, Ray Holmberg, pleaded guilty to the charge of traveling with intent to engage in illicit sexual activity. Holmberg was a recipient of the Library Champion Award in 2017. This honor is intended for North Dakota leaders who have shown great support and advocacy for North Dakota libraries. The North Dakota Library Association takes this charge very seriously, and thus has decided to rescind Holmberg’s award.
If you know a minor who has been a victim of sexual abuse encourage them to reach out. Both national and state-wide support are available. At the national level, the Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network (RAINN) (1-800-656-4673) and Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) are excellent resources. State-wise, the North Dakota Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Task Force focuses on child abuse prevention.
We can only help build a safer future for children by showing that this type of behavior will not be tolerated!
