Congratulations!

Congratulations are in order for Linda Van Den Akker-Landrum, Youth Services Manager at Martha Washington Library, who was recently awarded a Continuing Education Scholarship to attend the Bureau of Education and Research’s seminar “What’s New in Children’s Literature and How to Use it in your Program.”

Linda is highly motivated to improve upon Martha Washington Library’s children’s programs and she anticipates the Conference being an excellent opportunity to improve upon her leadership and program development abilities, ultimately benefiting the greater Fairfax County community. Recently renovated Martha Washington Library opened to great fanfare last July, and Linda looks to uphold the Fairfax County Public Library’s standards for excellence at her children’s programs in her new branch.

Continuing Education Scholarships are great opportunities for those who serve their local Fairfax County Public libraries and who are looking to advance their skill-set to enhance the overall library system. Continuing Education Scholarships are awarded twice a year. Learn more about the Scholarship Fund.

On behalf of the Fairfax Library Foundation, thank you Linda and the other Continuing Education Scholarship winners for your long-time commitment to the Fairfax County Public Library!
