Hooray for the Trustees of the Reuben Hoar Library in Littleton!

The Reuben Hoar Library Trustees paid for MLA memberships for all paralibrarian staff members for 1 year. Why? To encourage each Littleton paralibrarian staffer to apply for a PAralibrarian Recognition of Achievement (PARA) at the discounted MLA members rate of just $10.

Director Marnie Oakes and the Reuben Hoar Library Trustees have encouraged paralibrarian staff to take advantage of this opportunity to earn the PARA! The applicants expect to have the paperwork assembled and submitted in time to receive the PARAs at the MLA Conference in May.
