Greetings Colleagues, I trust you're well and in good spirits. See messaging below from David Free, ACRL Senior Communications Strategist, regarding ACRL approved funds for ALA and ACRL membership. Share broadly and apply. Sandra From: David Free [mailto:dfree@ala.org] Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2021 11:14 AM To: Sandra Phoenix <sphoenix@hbculibraries.org> Subject: PRESS RELEASE: ACRL Membership Funding for BIPOC Library Workers Greetings - The ACRL Board of Directors has approved funds to support up to 50 memberships for ALA and ACRL (a value of over $200 per membership) for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) library workers, especially those who serve underrepresented populations. Would it be possible to share the ACRL Insider announcement about the program with the HBCU Library Alliance through your communication channels? We'd greatly appreciate your assistance in getting the word out. https://acrl.ala.org/acrlinsider/archives/20820 Let me know if you have any questions and thanks in advance for your assistance! d- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Free (he|him|his) | Editor-In-Chief, College & Research Libraries News<http://crln.acrl.org/> | Senior Communications Strategist Association of College & Research Libraries<http://www.acrl.org/> | 225 N.
