ALA has selected Sara R. Kennedy, deputy director of Green Hills Public Library District in Palos Hills, Illinois, as the 2020 Miriam L. Hornback Scholarship recipient. She commented that “libraries have the ability to improve lives in a dynamically changing world.” She contends that “libraries are making a difference in our society.” The award is given to an ALA or library support staff member to help finance the pursuit of an MLIS. The scholarship was named in memory of Miriam L. Hornback, a longtime ALA staff member, who was secretariat to the ALA Council and Executive Board.
