CSD Announces Recipients of the 2022-23 Scholarship to the OLA Conference
The Children’s Services Division funded two full scholarships and two partial scholarships to the OLA conference. The CSD board’s intention with the scholarship is to promote education in our field, especially for members from diverse cultural/ethnic backgrounds, historically marginalized and underrepresented groups, those who are in positions serving under-represented groups, and those employed at small or rural institutions with limited funding. CSD is happy to have four recipients this year. The Children's Services Division team looks forward to how these recipients will give back to our youth library community.
