Scholarship Fund Receives a Bequest
The California Library Association has received a bequest from the estate of Giovanna Castelfranco Schamberg. The money will go to the Edna Yelland Scholarship Fund, and will be used to support ethnic minority students in the attainment of a graduate degree in library or information science. The scholarship fund was established in 1973, and to date, fifty-one library students have received nearly $50,000 in direct assistance toward their education.
Mrs. Schamberg was a long time member of CLA until her death in 2003 at the age of 84. She retired from the Los Angeles Public Library in 1979 and resided in Palo Alto at the time of her death.
