Casey, Cumberland librarians awarded Library Science scholarships

By Kim Saylor Brannock

Frankfort, KY - Mary Beth Hogue, with the Casey County Public Library, and Amanda Wheat, with the Cumberland County Public Library, are among the twelve recipients of Spring 2019 Library Science tuition scholarships.

Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet's Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives (KDLA), in partnership with the Kentucky State Board of Certifications of Librarians, has awarded the Library Science Tuition Scholarship to 12 public library professionals for the spring 2019 semester.
