ALA Gets Massive Donation to Fund Scholarships for Library School Students
“Libraries are the most democratic institutions we have,” Lewis says. “With libraries, anyone can walk in and benefit, not only from the books but from the resources and full offerings libraries provide to their communities, including computers, technology training and assistance, career building, homework help, and literacies of all kinds, including health and financial literacy. Libraries are one of our last community spaces where people can go without economic barrier to entry and be welcome.” ??
“As the first Spectrum Scholar elected as ALA President, I am proof that scholarships help students obtain degrees to elevate their careers, and we are grateful for this gift to support the library profession,” says president Cindy Hohl.
