The Institute will be held in Cincinnati, OH from September 27-29, 2018. In efforts to support ALSC’s goal of continuing education for children’s librarians, and to show ALSC’s dedication to equity and diversity, the Friends of ALSC are now offering three scholarships<http://www.ala.org/alsc/institutescholarship> to the ALSC National Institute. The scholarships will include Institute registration (at the early bird rate) and a $1,000 travel stipend to cover airfare and hotel lodging. In the past, the Friends of ALSC only supported two scholarships. We have opened a third of the same amount to a North Carolina member who identifies as a member of the LGBTQAI+ community. ALSC hopes that this additional scholarship will continue to support the LGBTQAI+ community in North Carolina following the cancellation of the 2016 National Institute<https://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/blogs/the-scoop/alsc-board-votes-canc…> due to the state’s discriminatory legislation. Scholarship recipients must also all be ALSC members who work directly with children in a library setting. The ALSC National Institute, devoted solely to children’s and youth library services, offers a small, intimate setting for participating in programming and getting to know colleagues. Programs will delve into some of the most important topics in library service to children such as using local partnerships to improve programming, building support and advocating for your library, and how to incorporate diverse books in library programming. Participants are sure to go home feeling reinvigorated about the profession and more connected to others in the field. The online application must be submitted before midnight on May 9, 2018. Prior to submitting the application, seek permission from current supervisor for time off to attend the Institute. Winners will be notified in early June. For more information on the Institute scholarship including requirements and a link to the application form, please see the ALSC National Institute<http://www.ala.org/alsc/institutescholarship> site. The Friends of ALSC was created to ensure excellence in the Association's traditional programs and services and to support growth in new directions as our profession meets the exciting challenges of the 21st century.

Over the past 24 years, the award has celebrated 182 institutions that are making a difference for individuals, families, and communities. The award will be presented at an event at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C., on May 24. Selected from 29 national finalists, the 2018 National Medal for Museum and Library Service winners represent institutions that provide dynamic programming and services that exceed expected levels of service. Through their community outreach, these institutions bring about change that touches the lives of individuals and helps communities thrive. From a children’s museum in the Mile High City to a small public library in Texas, from a natural history museum in the Pacific Northwest to a Florida library system with a growing urban population, all are meeting the unique needs of their communities in innovative ways. The 2018 National Medal recipients are: · Children’s Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus (Denver, CO) · The Detroit Historical Society (Detroit, MI) · El Paso Museum of Art (El Paso, TX) · Georgetown Public Library (Georgetown, TX) · History Museum at the Castle (Appleton, WI) · Orange County Library System (Orlando, FL) · Pueblo City-County Library District (Pueblo, CO) · Reading Public Library (Reading, PA) · Rochester Public Library (Rochester, MN) · University of Oregon’s Museum of Natural and Cultural History (Eugene, OR) “It is a pleasure to recognize the 10 distinctive recipients of the National Medal of Museum and Library Service,” said IMLS Director Dr. Kathryn K. Matthew. “Through their programs, services, and partnerships, these institutions exemplify the many ways that libraries and museums are positively transforming communities across the nation.” Following the ceremony, StoryCorps<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001jTO4ejfW_pH3UHiORh0dsGw8xYC6i1HnB2OfxzQAVOsZ…>—a national nonprofit dedicated to recording, preserving, and sharing the stories of Americans—will visit each recipient and provide an opportunity for community members to share stories of how the institution has affected their lives. These stories are preserved at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
