Donate to the OLA Mentoring Fund Do you want to recognize a colleague for their outstanding work? The OLA Mentoring Fund supports OLA mentoring programs developed by the OLA Mentoring Committee. Programs are aligned with the strategic priorities of the association and are designed to increase professional capacity of members through mentoring. An example of a program for which funds can be disbursed to applicants is the 2017 pilot project called the Spirit of Reconciliation. This project was developed to use the fund to benefit Indigenous, remote communities, and those identifying as culturally diverse. The project seeks to foster librarianship in Indigenous communities, sponsoring librarians from First Nations public libraries to attend the OLA Super Conference. Learn more about the project with this video. Many of us in the library and information sector can identify our own mentors. This fund honours those who have provided their guidance, time and expertise to strengthen the library and information profession. DONATE TODAY>> New Issue of the Partnership Journal Now Available!
