The Association of Children's Librarians of Northern California (ACL) is pleased to announce that there are 3 annual membership scholarships available to persons who are planning to become children's librarians.

The group also presents an annual Insitute on a topic of interest to children's librarians, sponsors the annual Performers' Showcase of would-be library performers, and publishes an annual list of distinguished books and a monthly review journal, BayViews. The scholarships offer an opportunity for those seriously considering a career in children's librarianship to discuss children's books and librarianship with working professionals. Successful candidates will receive one free year's membership and admission to ACL events, including the annual Insitute.
