Institute of Museum and Library Services Chooses CJC Libraries!
Treasured objects and artifacts held by the Cisco Junior College Maner Library will be preserved
for future generations with help from the IMLS Connecting to Collections Bookshelf, a core set
of conservation books, DVDs, and online resources donated by the Institute of Museum and
Library Services (IMLS), the primary source of federal funding of the nation’s museums and
libraries. IMLS and its cooperator, the American Association for State and Local History
(AASLH), has awarded one of the total of 2,000 free sets of the IMLS Bookshelf to the CJC
Libraries.
