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.
