Dear colleague,



Please see below for an award opportunity for school libraries from ALA’s
Public Programs Office. If you could share this with your networks, I’d
appreciate it. All school libraries, public or private, that serve grades
K-8 are encouraged to apply.



Any questions, please let me know. You can reach us at
publicprograms at ala.org. Thanks! – Courtney, ALA Public Programs Office



*APPLY NOW: ALA’s Sara Jaffarian Award for Outstanding Humanities
Programming*



The ALA Public Programs Office has invited school libraries to apply for a
$5,000 award recognizing outstanding humanities programming in kindergarten
through eighth grade.



Eligible humanities programs may be focused in many subject areas,
including social studies, poetry, drama, art, music, language arts, foreign
language and culture. Programs should focus on broadening perspectives and
helping students understand the world and their place in it. They should be
initiated and coordinated by the school librarian and exemplify the role of
the library program in advancing the overall educational goals of the
school.



Nominated programs must have taken place during the current school year
(2017-18). Programs that are still in progress as of the award deadline are
eligible, and libraries are encouraged to self-nominate.



The award is selected annually by a committee comprising members of the ALA
Public and Cultural Programs Advisory Committee (PCPAC), the American
Association of School Librarians (AASL) and the Association for Library
Services to Children (ALSC).



*Read the full project guidelines and apply online at www.ala.org/jaffarian
<http://www.ala.org/jaffarian> by May 4, 2018.*



All school libraries serving grades K-8 are encouraged to apply.
