History of SCASL

The South Carolina Association of School Librarians began as a subdivision of the South Carolina Education Association. With money right out of their pockets, the first president Jackie Derrick, and Mary Alice Carter Parker and Frances O'Neal planned and implemented our very first conference in the spring of 1976.
