Grants

Support-a-Member (SAM) Program

Contact: IASL Secretariat

The Support-a-Member Program is a gift program designed to make it possible for school librarians, teacher-librarians, library assistants and others interested in school library service who are living in third world countries to belong to the International Association of School Librarianship.

This membership is granted for a three-year term, within the total funds allowed by the annual budget; typically, three or four are granted each year.

This fund is supported by financial contributions of any amount sent to the Secretariat.

A full membership of US$50 ensures member materials and services. If desired, the gift may be designated for a particular individual, school, association, or country.
