Thought from Daniel Webster

"Employment gives health, sobriety, and morals. Constant employment and well-paid labor produce general prosperity, content, & cheerfulness."

Program Administration

The school library media specialist is the trained professional responsible for planning and managing the school library media program. Most decisions regarding the circulation, cataloging, and acquisition of materials have been historically established by the school library media specialist in each individual school. Media specialists work cooperatively with the building administrator regarding budgeting and the school bookkeeper regarding purchasing procedures. While the management of the school collections continues to be the responsibility of the building library media specialists, selection guidelines as well as a school board policy and form for the reconsideration of materials have been established. Library media specialists are expected to submit an annual report to the division library media supervisor.
