[Backwage at aol.com]

ALA News: 
Next week, to celebrate National Library Week, Senator Jack  Reed (D-RI) 
plans to introduce the Librarian Act of 2007.  The Librarian Act of 2007 amends 
the Higher Education Act of 1965 to  provide for Perkins student loan 
forgiveness to encourage individuals to become  and remain librarians in low-income 
schools and public libraries. Specifically,  the Librarian Act of 2007 allows for 
Perkins loan cancellation for full-time  librarians with a master’s degree in 
library science that are employed in: 
1.  A public library that serves a geographic area that  contains one or more 
schools eligible for assistance under Title I of the  Elementary and 
Secondary Act of 1965; or  
2.  An elementary or secondary school library that is  eligible for 
assistance under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Act of  1965.
 
Comment:  ALA is working for you.
