Five library Science students received Conover Withol Scholarships presented by the Middletown Township Public Library (MTPL) at its Board of Trustees Meeting held at the library on New Monmouth Road last month.
The future librarians receiving the Conover Withol Scholarships are Bridgitte Carrol, Amanda Ferrante, Moira Whittington, Nathalie Vallovera and Anna Wells.
The scholarship committee, which reviewed 12 candidates for the scholarship this year, recommended that scholarships be awarded to the five candidates in 2022.
The Scholarship was created in 1972 to honor and remember Edith B. Conover and Karl F. Wihtol, both long-time residents of Middletown Township and dedicated friends of the Library. Since its inception, the Fund has awarded 54 scholarships to qualified individuals, many of whom have become quite active in the information field.
For additional information or to learn more about all the programs and activities offered at the library, contact Jenna O’Donnell at jodonnell@mplmain.mtpl.org.
The Library is located at 55 New Monmouth Road.
