The American Library Association (ALA) invites library advocates to apply online to join the ALA Policy Corps. The deadline for applications is November 16. The Corps initiative aims to strengthen advocacy related to key national library policy areas–ranging from broadband equity and copyright, to federal funding and STEM education, to privacy and cybersecurity.
The first Policy Corps cohort included two Illinoisans, Jenna Nemec-Loise from North Shore Country Day School and Qiana Johnson from Northwestern University. Please consider applying yourself and share this announcement with colleagues who would be interested in joining the corp. The deadline for applications is November 16.
