Junior Library Guild (JLG) recently awarded the Sister Sally Daly Grant to Mary Gildersleeve, Director of Library Services for Saint John Paul the Great Catholic High School near Dumfries, Virginia, to attend her first Catholic Library Association(CLA) conference this March.
The Catholic Library Association together with Junior Library Guild established a $1,500 grant in 2007 in memory of Sally Daly, SSJ, an ardent supporter of recruiting new members to CLA and its Children’s Library Services Section.
“Mary’s application was compelling because she showed an intention to be a major activist in CLA and to implement best practices learned to make her library great,” said Randy Asmo, President and CEO of Media Source, Inc., parent company of Junior Library Guild. “Her enthusiasm and desire to make a difference showed through.” Gildersleeve will attend the 2016 Annual Convention, March 29-31, 2016 in San Diego, Calif.
