  • 1.  Vision: An Outstanding School Library in Every State!

    Posted Jan 16, 2010 08:53 PM

    I’m ready to begin planning my visits to an outstanding school library and I need the help of each and every state organization.  I need YOU to tell me which library to visit in your state.  The library should meet the following criteria:

    • The school librarian is fully certified and a member of AASL
    • The facility and activities going on in the facility are engaging and visually stimulating.
    • The school library makes the most of the resources available.
    • Schools should be diverse and at various levels – elementary, middle, high, K-12, etc.
    • The school administration agrees to a site visit with media coverage which may include television, radio, and/or web coverage
    • Appropriate permissions are obtained which include photos, video and potential research
    • The school visit will occur on a day that fits my schedule
    • Evidence of learning will be provided
    • Deadline for submission is April 1, 2010.  Schedule will be finalized in May and June and announced at Annual in Washington, DC.
    • Email everhart@fsu.edu with your selection.
