[Michlib-l] ALSC Membership opportunity

[Lancaster, Cathy (MDE)]

To align with ALSC's strategic objective of increasing the intentional recruitment and retention of a diverse membership while reducing barriers to participation, ALSC is funding the memberships of 10 BIPOC library students and 10 paraprofessionals/library support staff (current position or position held within the last year) who want to become more involved with our organization and within the children's services profession.



Recipients will receive one year ALA/ALSC membership along with opportunities for meaningful engagement including regular virtual meetings with other recipients, activities and discussions, mentorship, shadowing committees, and more. Applicants should identify as BIPOC and be a library student, a paraprofessional and/or library support staff member, currently or recently unemployed.
