ALA awards 2017-2018 Spectrum Scholarships<br>
</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The American Library Association's (ALA) Office for Diversity, Literacy, and Outreach Services has awarded 2017-2018 Spectrum Scholarships to 61 exceptional students
pursuing graduate degrees in library and information studies. Since 1997, the ALA has awarded more than 1000 Spectrum Scholarships. In the 2017 application cycle, the Spectrum Scholarship Program received three times as many applications as there were available
scholarships, and the majority of this year’s applicants were deemed highly fundable. A prestigious committee of nine jurors selected this year’s Spectrum Scholars based on their commitment to diversity, commitment to entering the library profession, demonstrated
community outreach, academic ability and achievements and leadership potential.<br>

</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Summer reading for children is a long standing and cherished tradition in public libraries across America, but today’s kids need to master new skills and competencies.
Today’s summer programming needs to move beyond reading to engage children with hands-on activities, thus keeping their brains active even when school’s out. In “Summer Matters: Making All Learning Count,” published by ALA Editions, Elizabeth M. McChesney
from Chicago Public Library (CPL) and Bryan W. Wunar from Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry present a guide based on their award-winning, STEAM-inspired approach. They outline practical steps for libraries and cultural institutions to partner in creating
a sustainable summer learning program that’s both fun and educational.<br>
