View all posts for July 2006

The Massachusetts Library Aid Association Committee on Aid to Small Public Libraries is pleased to announce its Scholarship and Staff Development Grant Programs for the fall 2006 term. MLAA is a private foundation. The purpose of this program is to subsidize training in library and information science for librarians and library staff who are presently employed in small Massachusetts public libraries. Please note this is not an MBLC sponsored grant program, however we have worked in partnership with MLAA for more than fifty years.

For the Scholarship Program prospective applicants must be currently employed in a Massachusetts public library; may not hold an MLS already and must work in a community of 30,000 or under. The applicant’s annual salary may not exceed $30,000.

Small grants (ranging from $ 300- 500) will be given to cover courses and training programs which must be directly applicable to public library service. Occasionally a small amount of additional money is available for a travel allowance for those commuting 80 miles or more. Previous grant awardees may apply; however, in no case will more than three awards be made to an individual.

Similar amounts are available for small public libraries for staff development purposes. Please read the attached flier describing the Staff Development opportunities.

The application deadline for fall is Aug 17 2006. No applications will be considered after this time. Notification of recipients will take place after Labor Day.

You may email your request for an application to Rachel Devin, Administrative Assistant to the Library Development Unit of the MBLC Rachel.devin@state.ma.us.

Or if you have questions contact her at 617-725-1860 or 1-800-952-7403.

In all cases, please identify yourself by providing your complete name, library, community and a telephone, fax and/or email so we may contact you.
