"The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) awarded the Georgia Public Library Service (GPLS) a 2009 Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program grant to fund the GPLS “Librarians Build Communities” program, which provides scholarships needed to prepare 45 students to be public librarians and provide them with expertise in community building. This grant helps GPLS strengthen community support for public libraries in Georgia, addresses Georgia’s shortage of librarians and provides a model for other states.” Kathleen de la Peña Mccook was visiting scholar for the project.
