Librarians have the opportunity and responsibility to use their institutional membership to advocate for their communities. In an attempt to inspire local academic librarians our fall program is centered on the advocacy work already being down in the Delaware Valley Region. Every year, the Delaware Valley Chapter of the ACRL awards a stipend to support future academic librarians. This year the organization would like to help support the library studies of an individual that is focused on helping to create a more
equitable society. A $1000 scholarship will be awarded to a student enrolled in an ALA-accredited program to help offset the cost of educational expenses.
To apply, please submit a 250 word essay describing your interest in advocacy and activism in librarianship. Eligible applicants must attend school, work, or reside in the chapter’s service area.
Word Count: 250
Deadline: Monday, October 16, 2018
