[Libs-Or] Course Subsidy Awards Announced for LSSC Candidates

[Darci Hanning]

Good morning!

For Support Staff who are interested in obtaining the Library Support Staff Certification, this course subsidty opportunity might be of interest:

The American Library Association-Allied Profession Association (ALA-APA) announced today that the Library Support Staff Certification (LSSC) Program will be offering $200 subsidies to 90 candidates to complete LSSC approved courses.  If the cost of the course is less than $200, the subsidy will cover the cost of the entire course minus materials such as books, etc.  LSSC is a national, voluntary certification program administered by the ALA-APA.

All LSSC candidates are eligible to receive a subsidy by completing an application form available at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FYRXSR8.  ALA-APA will give first preference to those candidates who have not received a previous subsidy.  To apply for a subsidy, applicants must enroll in the LSSC by December 23, 2013.  LSSC enrollment information is available at http://ala-apa.org/lssc/for-candidates/eligibility-and-cost/. Recipients will be chosen using a random selection process; ALA-APA will announce subsidy awards on January 6, 2014.

Cheers,
