Serra Cooperative Library System

The Serra Cooperative Library System, serving 14 public library systems in two highly diverse and multilingual southern California counties, will recruit and provide scholarships to 20 people to pursue a master's of Library Science degree through San Jose State University's School of Library and Information Science. Scholarship recipients will be selected from among current Cooperative staff members who have already demonstrated a commitment to their libraries and communities. Grant funds also will support professional development opportunities for both scholarship recipients and others working in Cooperative member libraries. Other project partners include the Desert Valley Library Media Association and San Diego’s Chapter of REFORMA.
