Springer Nature is proud to honor the legacy of Cynthia Graham Hurd by
awarding a $1,500 travel grant to a librarian that has not had an
opportunity to attend the Charleston Library Conference.

Cynthia Graham Hurd was a librarian for over 31 years in Charleston
public and academic libraries.  She worked as the branch manager of
the popular St. Andrews Regional Library, and as a part-time reference
librarian at the College of Charleston. On June 17, 2015, her life
ended when a lone gunman entered the historic Emanuel AME Church and
killed nine people during a prayer meeting. Cynthia is remembered as a
“tireless servant of the community who spent her life helping
residents, making sure they had every opportunity for an education and
personal growth.” This scholarship enables Cynthia’s dedication to
helping others to continue.

To apply, librarians are asked to submit a project or initiative
developed at their library to enhance diversity and inclusion. Topics
can include diversity in selection of resources, providing services to
support the research and learning needs of all segments of the
academic community, improving educational outcomes, addressing issues
including racial disparities, racial equity, income inequality, gender
inequality and more.

Submissions due by October 2, 2017.
