Hi Adriana,
Thanks for your question! You do not have to be located in Michigan to be funded. The Michigan Academic Library Association (MiALA) definitely has a geographic focus on the needs of academic library workers in Michigan, but if anyone is interested in being part of MiALA , networking and potentially engaging on a deeper level with folks in the organization, we definitely encourage it!
I hope this answered this answered your question, but please feel free to follow-up as needed :)
Best,
Sheila

Boosting this! The deadline to apply is May 31st and I'm happy to answer any questions! We have very few applications so you're very likely to get funded if you apply!

Hello all,
Please see the below opportunity from the Michigan Academic Library Association:
Recognizing that the COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated deep-seated inequities within librarianship and society as a whole, particularly impacting library workers and students who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color; and in support of the precedent set by ACRL in creating their ACRL Funding for BIPOC Library Workers initiative, the MiALA Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) Committee, with the support of the MiALA board, have launched the Membership Funding for BIPOC Library and Archives Students and Workers initiative.
This initiative will fund membership for 1 year for 10 library/archives students, as well as membership for 1 year for 5 library/archives workers.
In order to be considered for this membership funding, applicants must identify as a Black, Indigenous, and/or as a Person of Color.
Consideration will be extended to those who
- serve underrepresented populations
- have experienced household job loss or furlough in 2020
- are considered early-career professionals (less than 5 years experience) You do not have to be a current member of MiALA to apply. The application closes on May 31st and can be accessed here: https://www.memberleap.com/members/form_edit.php?org_id=MALA&fid=4887679 All best, Sheila García Mazari she/her/ella
