25-26 South Carolina School Librarian Survey
Your participation is requested to help create an accurate picture of school libraries, staffing, collections, and usage across South Carolina. Participation is optional, but encouraged.

No individual names are published, but information will be available by school and district through different data visualizations. You can see the data from 23-24 and 24-25 at scasl.net.  The intent of this data collection is to promote growth and advocacy. These questions are aligned with the 2024 South Carolina Distinguished Standards for Library Programs and Collections.  The data collected in this survey isn't all-encompassing, so sharing additional information (visits, specific programs, etc) with your school and district leaders is also encouraged.

You can complete the 25-26 SC School Librarian Survey Worksheet ahead of time. When you submit this form, a copy of the responses will be sent to you and to the person identified as your district supervisor.  If you need to update any information, you can simply open this survey link and then choose the option to update your responses and make any needed changes.

Thank you for all your hard work during the 25-26 school year!
