Mary Jo Lynch Award
Mary Jo Lynch Award
The Mary Jo Lynch Award encourages library school students to do statistical research and publish a paper using public library data collected at the state and national level. Any student working toward a master’s degree from a program of library and information science accredited by the American Library Association is eligible to apply.
The winner will receive funding to attend the ALA national conference or the PLA national conference, to include actual and necessary expenses of conference attendance, including registration, travel, food, and lodging. The winner will also receive an engraved plaque and may be asked to present a summary of the research paper findings.
