Hello and happy Friday! The application process for the 2020-2021 California Public Library Staff Education Program is open. Created to support the development of professional librarians, this program provides current library staff, as well as those who were recently employed but affected by COVID-19 pandemic staff changes, with tuition reimbursement for courses required to earn an MLIS. More information, and a link to the application, can be found here: https://www.library.ca.gov/services/to-libraries/public-library-staff-education-program/. Please help us publicize this program by forwarding to your colleagues who are currently enrolled in an MLIS program. Applications are due July 30, 2020.
