Interested in the connection between libraries and the publishing world? The Women’s National Book Association sponsors the WNBA Eastman Grant offers a grant of up to $750 for a librarian to take a course or participate in an institute devoted to aspects of publishing as a profession.

Application guidelines (there is no official form, but there is a list of materials you must submit) are available on the WNBA Eastman Grant page of the ALA web site. You need to have an MLS (or MLS equivalent) and have two years of post-master’s work to apply. Applications are due November 1, so apply today! Winners will be announced at the 2008 ALA Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia.
