Held annually in April, The Shining Star Awards were established by the Stanislaus Library Foundation in 2004 to honor individuals, businesses or organizations, and Friends of the Library members for their support of the library through volunteer efforts, advocacy, programs or financial contributions. In addition, the Foundation presents the Joan Patterson Stellar Achievement Award recognizing a volunteer who has fulfilled a long-term, ongoing commitment of service to Stanislaus County Libraries.
