In August of 2008, the Library Foundation received a grant of nearly $1 million from the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences (IMLS). The IMLS made the grant of $963,420 in its latest round of awards under the Laura Bush 21st-Century Librarian Program.
Library officials estimate that the grant will fund tuition for 45 Master’s-Degree library students. Anyone who has completed a Bachelor’s Degree is eligible to apply for a scholarship by contacting the San Antonio Public Library Foundation, (210) 225-4728, or the San Antonio Public Library at (210) 207-2635.
