Hello Everyone,

Applications are now being accepted for the Groner-Wikler scholarship for
AJL conference attendance. * The application deadline in February 24, 2017.*
  The Groner-­Wikler Scholarship of $1500 for conference attendance is
given annually to a member of AJL who demonstrates dedication to Jewish
children’s literature or library services.

A member of AJL, this individual will have made a significant contribution
in one or more of the areas listed below. Extra consideration is given to
applicants who are considered promising new movers and shakers in the field
of Jewish children’s literature and services.

●     Active involvement in the Judaic library profession or related fields
promoting Jewish children’s literacy

●     Strong advocacy for library/literacy services to children and youth

●     Positive role model to colleagues and the wider community

●     Innovative approaches to Jewish children’s literature or library
services



Candidates may self-nominate, or be nominated by others. The nominator does
not have to be a member of AJL, but the nominee must be a current AJL
member. The winner will be selected by a committee made up of the AJL SSC
President and Vice-President, the children’s book editor(s) of AJL Reviews,
and the previous year’s winner of this award.


The recipient will be notified well before the registration deadline for
the Association of Jewish Libraries annual conference. The presentation of
the award will take place during the AJL conference.


Note: If a suitable candidate is not found, the scholarship will not be
awarded in that year.

Bloomfield at kathybloomfi...@gmail.com  by February 24, 2017. Please put
