NYCSLA Fellowship and Administrator Award Applications Due Friday!

March 15, 2011

This year, NYCSLA is proud to offer two awards for members and their schools: the NYCSLA Fellowship award for members and the NYCSLA Administrator Award for principals. The application deadline is this Friday, March 18.

NYCSLA Fellowship Award

This $300 Fellowship Award is awarded to a NYCSLA member to attend a national, state or regional conference. NYCSLA fellows are chosen on the basis of three criteria: (1) involvement and leadership in the field of school libraries, including professional accomplishments, (2) quality of your virtual library presence, and (3) willingness to share your conference experience with colleagues. NYCSLA board members are ineligible.

Apply online!

NYCSLA Administrator Award

The Award recognizes an administrator who has been responsible for the improvement of the School Library Media Program in a New York City school during the past two to five years. The winner receives a plaque and online recognition in the form of a press release and blog post acknowledging his/her support of the School Library Media Program. You must be a NYCSLA member to apply. NYCSLA board members are not eligible to apply.

Apply online!

All NYCSLA members are eligible, so apply today!

NYCSLA at the Fall Conference

November 1, 2010

Going to the Office of School Library Services fall conference on Election Day? Stop by the NYCSLA table to renew your membership or join us for the first time and find out about our upcoming meetings and new award opportunities for members. Come to our networking session from 2-3 led by our president Sara Paulson to find out more about what NYCSLA can do for you professionally.

Lastly, hang out NYCSLA and your fellow librarians to unwind after the fall conference… or maybe keep the excitement and energy going? Relax with your colleagues for an informal happy hour at Moe’s Bar & Lounge, around the corner from Brooklyn Tech at 80 Lafayette Ave. (at S. Portland) in Fort Greene. Join us immediately following the conference.
