[OPLINLIST] NPL's Myers Library Science Scholarship

[Betsy K. Eggers]

The Napoleon Public Library Board of Trustees would like to announce the
availability of the Rachael Bradley Myers and Dayl S. Myers Scholarship in
memory of their son, Joseph Bradley Myers.  In 1988, the Library received
$75,346.31 from the Myers estate.  The principal is invested and the
interest income may be used annually at the discretion of the Trustees to
provide a scholarship or scholarships to aid a person or persons pursuing a
fifth year degree or Master's degree in Library Science.  For 2014,
$1,500.00 will be disbursed for one qualified MLIS candidate in accordance
with the Library Board's decision.

Dayl and Rachael Myers grew up in Napoleon and graduated from Napoleon High
School in 1914.  Dayl was a telephone engineer for Bell laboratories for
thirty-five years.  They lived in Towaco, New Jersey, but returned to
Napoleon in 1960 upon Dayl's retirement.  Their later years were spent in
St. Petersburg, Florida.

To apply for the Myers scholarship, applicants must send a resume and letter
of intent or essay concerning career goals to Napoleon Public Library, 310
W. Clinton Street, Napoleon, Ohio 43545 by May 1, 2014.  Proof of admission
to Library School must be included.

Since the Myers family was native to Henry County, the Library Board feels
preference should be given to Henry County residents who apply.  A personal
interview with the Library Board on June 10, 2014 may be required.  The
scholarship winner will be required to give a detailed account of
expenditures and complete the program within three years.

If prospective applicants have any questions, or desire more information
please contact Betsy Eggers at 419-592-2531.
