Jeanette P. Myers Scholarship Awarded

The 2005 winners of the Jeanette P. Myers Memorial Scholarship
offered by the Bloomfield Township Public Library were announced
at the August 2005 meeting of the Library's Board of Trustees. Twins,
Robert and Albert Lin of Bloomfield Hills, each won a portion of
the annual scholarship of $500 or more, augmented by contributions
from the Library staff and Rodman N. Myers, Library Trustee. The
Lins are both 2004 graduates of Lahser High School and attending
Duke University.
The family of Jeanette P. Myers was on hand to award the scholarships.
The Library Trustees commended the selection committee on the difficult
choices each year among scholarship applicants. Each applicant is
required to provide a brief essay of educational, personal, or professional
goals, in addition to supplying their educational history, relationship
to BTPL, and the intended use of scholarship.
The Jeanette P. Myers Memorial Scholarship Fund is a named fund
of the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan, established
in memory of Mrs. Myers, an Adult Services Librarian of the Bloomfield
Township Public Library. Applications for the scholarship are accepted
throughout the year with the annual deadline of June 1. More information
