[Libs-Or] Small/rural public libraries invited to apply for stipends for dialogue and deliberation workshop at 2018 ALA Annual Conference

[Tamara Ottum]

Hello small and/or rural Oregon libraries -

Just saw this. A great opportunity for those of you would like to attend ALA this summer!

Public libraries that serve small and/or rural communities are invited to apply for a travel stipend to attend a one-day dialogue and deliberation pre-conference workshop at the 2018 American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference in New Orleans.

"Libraries Transforming Communities: Conversation Café Workshop for Public Libraries Serving Small, Mid-Sized and/or Rural Communities" will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, June 22, 2018, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans.

Attending the pre-conference is free, though space will be limited to 50 participants. Twenty-five participants from public libraries serving small and/or rural communities will be selected to receive an $800 stipend to help cover travel costs for one library employee.

Those interested in applying for a travel stipend should read the project guidelines<https://apply.ala.org/LTC2018/guidelines> and submit an online application<https://apply.ala.org/LTC2018/> by March 9, 2018. Applicants need not be ALA members.
