Begun Scholarship Winner Announced
The first annual Begun Scholarship for future youth services librarians has been awarded to Madeline N. Miller, page at the Santa Cruz Public Library and graduate student at the San Jose State University School of Library & Information Science, where she hopes to get her MLIS in August 2006. Madeline also works in the children's section of Bookshop Santa Cruz and volunteers in her library's Young People's Room. She has served as a pre-college advisor for tenth-graders and has tutored Spanish-speaking sixth-through-eighth-grade students in writing, reading, and English. In her spare time, Madeline likes to read (children's literature, of course!) and hike and is a classically-trained singer. Her storytime "Opera for Preschoolers" was a big hit this summer, especially when she encouraged the kids to howl during The Dog Who Sang at the Opera! The Begun Scholarship Committee is thrilled that Madeline has decided to become a youth services librarian and looks forward to watching her career blossom.
