The Sustainability Round Table has two awesome awards that both have a deadline of April 15th! The first award is a diversity in sustainability conference stipend and the second is an award for a library that demonstrates wellness in the workplace.
The SustainRT Diversity in Sustainability Conference Stipend, recognizes the importance of social equity to SustainRT and ALA, and works to support new and diverse members to overcome barriers to participating in the professional development and networking opportunities at the 2022 ALA Conference. SustainRT will provide up to $500 to help one candidate attend the ALA Annual Conference. The stipend can be used for fees associated with registration, housing, meals, travel, or any other costs incurred as a result of attending the conference. Please visit the submission form for requirements.
The SustainRT Citation for Wellness in the Workplace is to acknowledge the fact that library staff are our greatest asset in building and supporting sustainable libraries and communities. The ALA Sustainability Roundtable (SustainRT) is recognizing libraries that go above and beyond in meeting the wellness needs of their staff with the SustainRT Citation for Wellness in the Workplace. All ALA members are invited to nominate any library who has made efforts to meet the needs of their staff in the areas of continuing education, wellness, positive work environment, unions, salaries, gender equity, pay equity initiatives, and other activities designed to improve the salaries and status of librarians and other library workers.
