Share Your Library's Story

Students watch as a small robot progresses down a path lined with buildiings made from construction paper.

Students at Abner Creed Elementary School coded robots to create their version of the Thanksgiving favorite, Balloons Over Broadway. Share your uplifting and impactful library stories with local communities and the legislators who serve them. The “Libraries Support South Carolina” campaign from SCLA, APLA, and SCASL is for all libraries, regardless of membership or affiliation. Whether it is summer reading statistics, academic library outreach efforts and impact, K-12 stories, or public library community programs, we want to hear it all. Submissions are due by January 16, 2023.
