Greetings all,
We are excited to share that the 2025 Librarians-in-Residence program is now open to receive applications. The deadline to apply is February 21, 2025. The program is open to students who earned or will complete their Master's degree in library and information science from an American Library Association-accredited program between December 1, 2023, and June 14, 2025.
We are hosting two information sessions, the first is this week on February 5, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. (ET), and the second on February 13, 2025 at 12:00 p.m. (ET). Students are invited to join us to learn about the details and benefits of the program, get insights on how to apply, and hear directly from an LIR participant about their experience.
Anything you can do to help spread the word to students is much appreciated. Full details can be found online and below are details about the information sessions. Thanks in advance!
