Each year SLNNY offers a scholarship for a member to attend the summer educational leadership institute (formerly the Carol A. Kearney Educational Leadership Institute, sponsored by NYLA's Section of School Librarians (SSL)). The scholarship is named after Marcia Eggleston, a long time school librarian at Norwood-Norfolk Central School, then Director of the St Lawrence-Lewis BOCES School Library System, who passed away in spring of 2015. She was a member of SLNNY for many years, and extremely active in SSL.
The Marcia Eggleston Scholarship is equivalent to one registration for the full Educational Leadership Institute. Please see below for full instructions and application form.
