WESTWOOD—At the May meeting of the Friends of the Westwood Library, President Liz Bellamy and Scholarship Chairwoman Carmela Stark awarded the Shy Touba Memorial Scholarship to Michaela Keenan, who is pursuing an MLS degree at Clarion University.
Michela, a resident of Park Ridge, displays all the qualities of a great public librarian in the making. As a library associate at the Tenafly Library, she enjoys assisting patrons and handling a variety of library duties that benefit the community. Inspiring others’ love of literature is Michela’s personal and career goal.
The Friends of the Westwood Library supports many programs and at the Library. Supporting future librarians is an important part of our mission. Each year the Friends encourage library students from Westwood and the Pascack Valley to apply for the Shy Touba Memorial Scholarship that is designed to help defray the costs of an MLS degree or additional library studies.
