Good morning!<br>
<br>
For Support Staff who are interested in obtaining the Library Support Staff Certification, this course subsidty opportunity might be of interest:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>The American Library Association-Allied Profession Association (ALA-APA) announced today that the Library Support Staff Certification (LSSC) Program will be offering $200 subsidies to 90 candidates to complete LSSC approved courses. If the cost
of the course is less than $200, the subsidy will cover the cost of the entire course minus materials such as books, etc. LSSC is a national, voluntary certification program administered by the ALA-APA.<br>
<br>
All LSSC candidates are eligible to receive a subsidy by completing an application form available at
<a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FYRXSR8" target="_blank">http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FYRXSR8</a>. ALA-APA will give first preference to those candidates who have not received a previous subsidy. To apply for a subsidy, applicants must enroll in the
LSSC by December 23, 2013. LSSC enrollment information is available at <a href="http://ala-apa.org/lssc/for-candidates/eligibility-and-cost/" target="_blank">
http://ala-apa.org/lssc/for-candidates/eligibility-and-cost/</a>. Recipients will be chosen using a random selection process; ALA-APA will announce subsidy awards on January 6, 2014.<br>
