Kentucky Library Trustees Round Table

(KLTRT)

Dear Trustee:

I am pleased to announce that Kentucky Library Trustees are invited to apply for up to a $500 Scholarship to attend the Kentucky Public Library Association/Kentucky Library Trustee Round Table (KPLA/KLTRT) Spring Conference. We will be awarding one scholarship this year. All public library Trustee Board members currently serving in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and who are KLTRT members are eligible. When you join KLA as a Trustee, you are also a member of the KPLA and KLTRT. This year’s conference will be held April 9-11 in Bowling Green, KY at the Holiday Inn/Sloan Convention Center.

The scholarship will help cover registration, lodging, meals, and transportation to/from the Conference. Payment will be made in the form of a reimbursement. Mileage will be figured on the state reimbursement rate at the time of the conference.

Attending the KPLA/KLTRT Conference presents an excellent opportunity for networking with other Trustees and library personnel across the state. Many of the educational sessions are geared toward helping the library trustee get a better understanding of what their responsibilities are. In addition, pre-conference Trustee Certification sessions will allow you to become certified in one day!

The scholarship is intended for use by the trustee chosen and may not be shared in any way.

For more information regarding the scholarship, please contact the following:

Sincerely,

Mindy Woods-Click, Chair
