Tamra
Hawley-House, Scholarship winner, is currently enrolled in graduate
courses at Emporia State University in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Her scholarship has helped her to continue her studies.
Tammy’s fall classes included Theory of Organization of
Information, Global Information Infrastructure, and
Organizing Information. Tammy is more than half-way through her
course of classes in pursuit of her M.L.S. degree. She writes,
"It is my personal and professional
goal to obtain additional knowledge and training in the field of library
science. These courses
along with the generous funding provided by the Idaho Library
Association are helping me to achieve these goals.
Thank you for your support.”
Scholarship
winner Cheryl
Bruce, Director at Meadows Valley Public Library, attended the ILA fall
conference at Lewiston with the help of her scholarship.
Cheryl enjoyed workshops on grant writing, the legislature and
library laws, fundraising, and media presentations.
She praised Mike Eisenberg’s workshop and speech.
Cheryl participated in Idaho State Library’s
panel discussion on LSTA funding, networked with other library
folks, and came away with plans and ideas for her library. She thanks the ILA for making this opportunity possible.
Lori
Keenan, honored with a lifetime membership, says that she cherishes the honor as well
as the people who inspired her “with their dedication, commitment and
willingness to work for the greater good.”
Lori plans on attending future ILA conferences, but for now she is
savoring her retirement and reading for the joy of it.
