Are you interested in attending the PLA Conference in Minneapolis March 26 through 29? Worried about your continuing education budget?

The Board of Trustees of Southeastern Library Services believes that all library staff and trustees should have opportunities to learn, grow and bring new ideas and excitement to our local libraries. One of the best ways to do that is to attend conferences, both local and national. The PLA Conference is held bi-annually and moves across the country much like other national conferences. It is not often held in our “neighborhood”!

To help our libraries be the best they can be, the SLS Trustees invite you to apply for financial assistance to attend the conference. We are offering two full scholarships and three $400 stipends. Full scholarships will require attendance at the full conference (March 26 through 29) and traveling via one of our chartered buses. Stipends may be used to offset costs and do not require traveling via charter bus or staying for the entire conference.

To apply for a scholarship and/or stipend, please visit http://tinyurl.com/2nkctb.

Deadline to apply is October 29, 2007. Winners will be announced in November via listserv and the blog. Please let us know if the link or survey have technical difficulties.
