The Helen R. Shultz Scholarship Committee is once again offering the annual Helen R. Shultz Library Scholarship for the 2010/2011 academic year. This is the 9th year of the scholarship and we are awarding $1500.00 to a student who lives in West Long Branch or Monmouth County and has been accepted into a library science or paraprofessional library program.
We have been offered a free bus trip to Book Expo on Wednesday, May 26. We need to know how many of you want to attend. We would probably leave at 7 or 7:30 and leave NYC at 3 PM. Indicate your interest in attending by clicking on http://tinyurl.com/BEABUS
Please sign up by Thurs. April 22 so we can order the number of buses we need (1 or more than one!) We will not be checking anyone’s library certification…
Nice to think about good things like a day in NYC meeting authors and getting free books…

PS
The bus to Book Expo is free, but there is still registration to pay for – however, you can get discounted registration to the expo by using the information below sent by Diana Press, Conference Sales/Group Registrations, Reed Exhibitions.
The librarian discount is
3-day all access pass $75 instead of $95
One day pass $50 instead of $60 (must indicate day)
HERE is a registration form-paying by check, made payable to Reed Exhibitions, mailed with registration form to my attention address below. All mail to me will be confirmed.
Below is a message from Eileen Palmer about joining the advocacy groups that are already in place.
Please take a moment to join them if you haven’t already, and please be sure to talk about this issue to your friends, family, colleagues and patrons and have them sign up too!
Watch for more information and actions coming soon!
If you haven’t heard the news, Nicole Engard did a nice post on it yesterday here.
Good Morning,
As NJLA prepares its response to the drastic cuts to statewide library programs proposed by Gov. Christie, and a renewed attack on the minimum library funding represented by A2555, please take a moment to join one or both of the following initiatives:
Please reach out to Friends, Boards and patrons to become part of these initiatives so that we can get the word out as quickly as possible in the coming days.
Thank you,
- Eileen
