Learn the Power of Partnerships

The South Carolina State Library is excited to bring together school librarians, administrators, and public library staff to discuss existing partnerships across the state and how to strengthen collaborations in your district. Stephanie Rodriguez from the Nashville Public Library’s Limitless Libraries project, and Andrew Maxey from Tuscaloosa City Schools will be our special presenters on March 23 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Participants will also hear about existing collaborations between public libraries and schools from around the state, including Charleston County Public Library and Charleston County School District. Time will be set aside for discussion and a question and answer session with each presenter to talk about their challenges with budgeting, privacy, and much more! Registration is $10 and lunch is provided.
