<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The Oregon Library Association recognizes that there are challenges associated with providing continuing education opportunities to library staff in support or paraprofessional positions and is
looking at options to improve opportunities in Oregon. In response, ACRL-OR is offering extra support to library paraprofessionals to attend our fall 2014 conference. We are making available up to 5 scholarships that will cover the registration fee, room and
board, plus up to $50 dollar for travel costs. I hope you will support your staff who are interested in attending the conference and encourage them to take advantage of this scholarship opportunity.
