Attention all LIS students and recent grads (within the last 3 years): FTRF again this year is offering free attendance at the upcoming ALA Annual Conference, via our Gordon M. Conable Fund. We're looking for someone with a demonstrated and ongoing commitment to intellectual freedom issues. Is that you? Find out more here! Applications are open through April 11. Please note that the Conable Conference Scholarship is made possible thanks to donations from FTRF members and other supporters. If you would like to help make a library school student or new librarian's conference dream come true, please consider tossing a couple of bucks into the Conable Fund!
