The Institute for Museums and Library Services recently released its list of June 2009 grant recipients (http://www.imls.gov/news/2009/061709b_list.shtm). One of these awards is a nearly $1M grant to Denver Public Library (principal investigator is DPL’s Kristen Svendsen); grant partners include REFORMA-Colorado, the Colorado Association of Libraries, and the University of Denver. The purpose of the grant is to increase the number of librarians with the skills and knowledge to serve linguistically and culturally diverse communities. The money will be used to pay full-tuition and scholarships for 18 students to obtain their master’s degrees at the University of Denver’s library school. (This is the 3rd such grant received by DPL; it is known locally as “Leaders III”.)
