Welcome and thank you for visiting the Website of the New York Black Librarian Caucus (NYBLC). As I step into the last 6 months of my Presidency, I am proud to state that we have made significant strides during the past 18 months. We are recruiting and growing our membership base, coupled with the fact that, we awarded the largest amount of scholarship funds in a single year, to Black Graduate Students in pursuit of the Master’s Degree in Library and Information Science.
NYBLC acknowledges and congratulates President Barack Obama on his historic election as President of the United States, making reality and shattering the myth of what was widely believed to be impossible. We wish him the very best of luck with the national and international challenges which he faced. We have the utmost confidence that he will be successful, dealing with those issues.
We are asking your support for 2 forthcoming National Conferences. The Black Caucus of the American Library Association (BCALA) which is the parent organization of NYBLC will host a National Conference of African American Librarians on August 4th to 9th 2010 in Birmingham, Alabama. Off course, you do not have be of African American descent to attend. Everybody across all ethnic lines is cordially invited.
The other Conference is the Joint Conference of the Librarians of Color (JCLC) which is the organization that comprised of all the 5 Ethnic Caucuses of the American Library Association. The Conference will be held September 19th to 23 th in Kansas City, Missouri.
Membership payments and donations to NYBLC can now be made online on this website.
As a Non Profit 501c3 Organization, all donations/contributions are tax deductible.
Thank you and I again extend a Warm Welcome.
Anthony Loum – NYBLC President
