First lady announces initiative for new librarians - Librarians in the News

Information Outlook - March 1, 2002

While visiting the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library in Kansas in early January, Laura Bush announced a proposed $10 million initiative to recruit a new generation of librarians for 2003.

Funds would be used in various recruitment efforts such as scholarships and fellowships for Master's programs; support for doctoral students; leadership development; distance learning for rural areas; and efforts to recruit librarians to serve diverse communities with various language skills.

The initiative would be managed by the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences (IMLS).
