Youth Libraries Group London Proposal to sponsor a member to attend the YLG
National Conference.
YLG London is proposing to sponsor one YLG London member each year to
attend the National YLG conference. The sponsorship will be reviewed annually.
The sponsorship will cover the cost of the conference including
accommodation and standard travel expenses up to the value of £500.
To be eligible for the sponsorship those applying need to be members of YLG
London. Applicants do not need to be in a specialist post or be a qualified
Librarian or Information Specialist. Priority will be given to YLG London
members that have not been to the YLG conference in the past.
Those who have been awarded the sponsorship in a previous year are not
eligible.
Current YLG London committee members are not eligible.
This year’s conference is going to be held at the University of Warwick from
Friday 18th September to Sunday 20th September. For information about past
YLG conferences go to www.ylg.org.uk
To apply for the sponsorship, applicants must write a hundred word supporting
statement stating why attending a conference for all those interested in
children’s and young people’s books, reading and libraries is important for their
professional development.
The person awarded the sponsorship will be asked to write a short report for
Youth Library Review or the YLG website about their experience at the
Conference.
Applications will need to arrive with the YLG London Secretary no later than
Monday 1st June 2009.
