LDC: Librarians for Diverse Communities
Now in its third and final year, Librarians for Diverse communities has helped more than 30 full- and part-time employees and volunteers at Serra libraries to begin or progress toward their MLIS degrees. Seven have graduated as of Spring, 2011. In addition to tuition, books and technology grants, the program has provided workshops and mentoring for these scholars. Our goal is to create a new pool of qualified local librarians who can fill positions in Serra libraries, thus ensuring that Serra libraries are able to continue providing vital services to the community. A more diverse group of librarians will create richer programs for all library patrons. |
