We are sharing a survey that is gathering information from school library staff from around the state. It’s very short! (The best kind!) This was created by our colleagues at the SELS multitype system, and they are sharing the results with all the multitypes, so we can work on building more support for school libraries.

So you can see how short it is, it is being reproduced below. But, be sure to CLICK HERE to submit your answers!

The Multicounty Multitype Library Systems are strategizing on how we can continue to provide the most relevant and effective support to K-12 school libraries and media specialists around the state.

If you have ideas, we would love to hear them! Wondering which system serves you? Find out at: https://education.mn.gov/MDE/dse/Lib/sls/Mult/

We’re hoping to curate/develop advocacy tools/resources that school library staff would find helpful. One idea we’ve heard is assistance in strategic planning for the school library. What form of assistance would be helpful to you in advocating for your library/your role in the library? 

During the next few months, SELS will be working on creating a professional development program for school administrators to participate in. For media specialists, what do you wish that school leaders understood about your role?
