=Welcome to the South Carolina Association of School Librarians' Snapshot Wiki!= ====//The SCASL Advocacy Committee is once again sponsoring this initiative. Data gathered from South Carolina school librarians on their day will be used to promote the importance of school libraries in our children's education.//====

South Carolina school librarians impact the lives of their students daily. Whether working with entire classes or individuals, we enhance our students’ education. Study after study has proven the worth of effective school library programs led by certified school librarians. As of yet, South Carolina school libraries have not been featured in one of these studies. Let’s provide our administrators, district personnel, school board members, and state legislators with data that demonstrates the need to support school library programs in South Carolina!

The South Carolina Association of School Librarians is sponsoring a snapshot day of data for our school libraries. We ask that each school librarian choose a day in the month of November to collect data, anecdotes, testimonials, and photographs to submit to the SCASL Advocacy Committee. The committee will compile the data and other requested information and provide South Carolina school librarians with a digital report that they will want to share with their school communities and state legislators. Together, we can provide a powerful picture of the impact our programs have.
