RE: STUDENT LOAN RELIEF FOR LIBRARIANS AND OTHERS IN PUBLIC SERVICE


The debt relief provisions of the College Cost Reduction and Access Act, PL110-84, HR2669, become effective in July 2008.

The law contains provisions that “Provide LOAN FORGIVENESS for first responders, law enforcement officers, fire fighters, nurses, public defenders, prosecutors, early childhood educators, LIBRARIANS, and others”. (emphasis added) www.nasfaa.org/publications/2007/CCRASummary, (Nat. Assoc. of Student Fin. Aid Admin.)

The contents of the law may be of assistance to librarians of all types. It includes forgiveness for those in “national need” employment and a long-term program for forgiveness of the balance of a consolidated loan after 10 years. An analysis can be found at www.nasfaa.org/publications/2007/lnpublic101507.html

A summary of the provisions of the legislation can be reviewed at http://www.edfund.org/pdfs/CCRAA_Overview.pdf

"I am looking for someone to rent the spare bedroom in my spacious 2-bedroom apartment in picturesque and desirable Cambridge. You must read carefully, however, as this situation is not suitable for all.

The rent is $1 per month, utilities included, as long as you bake me fifty (50) tasty cookies every day by 6 p.m. If you have not completed this task by 6 p.m., I will pour vinegar on all your belongings, throw them into the street, and have the locks changed. No exceptions and no excuses. Hell or high water, those cookies better be done and yummy."
