Scholarship Program Announcement- Fall 2008

The Massachusetts Library Aid Association Committee on Aid to Small Public Libraries is pleased to announce its Scholarship Program for the fall 2008 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 that this program is not available for persons working in school libraries. This is not an MBLC sponsored grant program, however we have worked in partnership with MLAA for more than sixty years.

Prospective applicants must be currently employed in a Massachusetts public library; may not hold an MLS already and must work in a community of 35,000 or under. The applicant’s annual salary may not exceed $35,000.

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.

The application deadline for fall is: Aug 14, 2008. No applications will be considered after this time. Notification 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 at 617 725 1860 or 1 800 952 7403. Rachel.devin@state.ma.us

When sending a request for an application, please identify yourself by providing your name, library, community and a telephone, fax and/or email so we may contact you.
