[PADG:896] LBI Assistance Grants for ALCTS Library Binding Workshops



Dear Colleagues:

The Library Binding Institute (LBI) is offering assistance grants to
support attendance at the June 23 ALCTS Library Binding Preconference
Workshops in New Orleans (see announcement below and attached). The grants
are designated for those who work at libraries which were affected by
Hurricanes Katrina and/or Rita.

Are there other ALA lists of which you are members to which you can
forward this announcement? If so, please let me know so that efforts are
not duplicated.

Many thanks for your consideration.

Best Regards,

Debbie

The Library Binding Institute (LBI) is offering assistance grants to those
whose libraries were affected by Hurricanes Katrina and/or Rita. The
purpose of these grants is to enhance the professional development and
improve the expertise of binding staff and librarians responsible for
commercial binding, binding decisions, and binding advocacy in their
libraries. These grants have been established by the Library Binding
Institute (LBI) for attendance at the morning and/or afternoon modules of
the preconference workshop.   The grants will cover the half-day
registration cost ($99 value) for a staff member or a librarian from
libraries affected by Hurricanes Katrina and/or Rita to attend the morning
and/or afternoon preconference modules. Applicants can apply for grants to
cover their attendance of both modules. More than one person from the same
library can apply.

Please submit a cover letter with the name and primary contact
information.   Non-ALA members may also apply.  Please include:

1.        Description of the person?s job, which must include commercial
binding
preparation responsibilities, binding decision making, and/or binding
advocacy.
Please indicate the length of time in this position, describe the need for
taking this workshop, and how your library was affected by Hurricane
Katrina and/or Rita.

2.        A one-page vita of nominated candidate.
Electronic submissions are preferred.  All proposal elements should be
collated and submitted in a single Word document attachment via email to
Debra Nolan, LBI Executive Director, at dnolan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Deadline to
apply: April 19, 2006
