[MNASIS-L] Metronet's Steltzner scholarship now available for 2011

[Deanna Sylte, Operations Mgr.]

Lars Steltzner was a true believer in libraries of all types and believed
that if one library is strengthened, all are stronger. Lars was a great
supporter of media specialists and librarians just beginning their careers
and was always generous with his time and knowledge. Many library
organizations benefited from his wit, his commitment to libraries, and his
contributions to Metronet and to all Minnesota libraries.
 
In 2008 the Metronet Board created a scholarship for library staff in the
seven-county metro area in honor of Lars's memory. The Lars Steltzner
Scholarship is given annually to one Minnesota librarian who is early in
her/his career. This scholarship of $500 may be used for expenses for a
continuing library education event, national or local conference, or
participation in a professional engagement opportunity such as serving on a
collaborative committee. Recipients are eligible to receive the scholarship
once in their career.
 
To qualify applicant must be
.         Employed by a Metronet member library within the seven-county
metro area
.         Employed in the library field for fewer than five years

Applications for events in 2011 will be accepted between March 1 - April 30,
2011 for any eligible event from January 1 through December 31, 2011. The
Metronet Governing Board will select the winning scholarship at its May/June
meeting.
