[Nmtriblibs] Leadership opportunity for small & rural librarians

[Savage, Dale, DCA]

Good morning all,


I have some very good news to share today!



The Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL) has announced the Outstanding in Their Field Leadership Institute. This is a wonderful growth opportunity for a group of library folks that may often feel left out of the professional discussion.


The Institute is for library workers who are currently working in rural and/or small library from various backgrounds and ethnicities. Applications are encouraged from folks who may not have a Masters in Library and Information Science and maybe not even a college degree. If you love serving your community through librarianship, and your library has very limited funds for professional development or attendance at conferences; if you're a library lifer with or without a library degree and you want to up your library game - this Institute is for you.


All participant travel, materials, and instructional expenses (worth approximately $8000) are covered by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).



If you're interested in learning more about the Institute or know someone who might be a good fit for this opportunity, please visit the ARSL Outstanding in Their Field website at

Applications are due February 24th, 2021.
