Research Institute for Public Libraries 2020 Scholarships for Staff Working in Small Libraries
By Nicolette Baffoni | November 6, 2019
From the Library Research Service:
Up to 15 scholarships to the Research Institute for Public Libraries (RIPL) 2020 event in the Chicago suburbs, July 12-15, 2020, are available to staff working in rural and small public libraries in the United States. These scholarships are funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
RIPL is a national event, hosted by the Colorado State Library and the Colorado Library Consortium, and offers three days of hands-on, intensive workshops about:
- Evaluation design and implementation
- Data collection and use for strategic planning, management, and communication
- Measures for reporting library impact
To be eligible for a scholarship, you must be employed by a U.S. public library that is located in a rural area OR serves a population of less than 25,000. These criteria are determined based on data from the Institute of Museum and Library Services Public Libraries Survey. To determine whether your library meets these criteria, please click here. In addition, you must be a first-time participant of RIPL – if you have already attended a national or regional RIPL event, you are not eligible for a scholarship. Attendees of the ARSL preconferences at the the 2016 or 2019 conferences are eligible to apply.
Scholarship applications and supervisor statements of support are due by 8 PM Eastern/5 PM Pacific on Friday, November 22, 2019. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance status by the end of December.
There are plenty of RI libraries whose staff are eligible to apply for a scholarship. Learn more and apply at Library Research Services: RIPL 2020.
