Dear Friends,

Applications are now being accepted for The Groner-Wikler Scholarship for AJL Conference Attendance.   

The Groner-Wikler Scholarship of $1500 for conference attendance is given annually to a member of AJL who demonstrates dedication to Jewish children’s literature or library services.


The Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) will hold its annual conference entitled “Yovel/Jubilee: Celebrating 50 Years of AJL!” at the Sheraton Silver Spring in Silver Spring, Maryland from Sunday, June 21-Wednesday, June 24, 2015. 


A member of AJL, this individual will have made a significant contribution in one or more of the areas listed below. Extra consideration is given to applicants who are considered promising new movers and shakers in the field of Jewish children’s literature and services. 

  • Active involvement in the Judaic library profession or related fields promoting Jewish children’s literacy
  • Strong advocacy for library/literacy services to children and youth
  • Positive role model to colleagues and the wider community
  • Innovative approaches to Jewish children’s literature or library services

 


Candidates may self-nominate, or be nominated by others. The nominator does not have to be a member of AJL, but the nominee must be a current AJL member. The winner will be selected by a committee made up of the AJL SSC President and Vice-President, the children’s book editor(s) of AJL Reviews, and the previous year’s winner of this award.

The recipient will be notified well before the registration deadline for the Association of Jewish Libraries annual conference. The presentation of the award will take place during the AJL conference.
