Please help support the efforts to provide books and materials for the North Central High School library that was destroyed when a tornado hit Kershaw County this past weekend.  Julie Putnam, Media Services Coordinator for Kershaw County School District communicated the following to our SCASL President, Pam Williams, "We now have a plan in place.  We would greatly appreciate financial donations at this time.  Bambi Ferrer, the librarian, has developed a creative "mobile" library solution.  We anticipate that the NCHS library will be in a small space for the next 18 months in a facility with 3 separate buildings, so she is working on a solution that combines eBooks and rolling carts with newly purchased books for her collection."

Financial donations for North Central High School can be mailed or dropped off at the District Office as follows:

Please see the dates for our 2020 SCASL Regional Workshops

This school year is an important year for advocacy because 2020 is an election year. Let's make sure our legislators and community stakeholders know about the work we do and how important we are to our school. Join us this year for the Speak Up SCASL monthly social media campaign. Thank you, Tamara Cox and the Legislative Committee for this framework to share what we do!
