The Development of School Libraries in South Carolina The development of school libraries in South Carolina is closely tied to the creation of the public school system in South Carolina and to State Department of Education and Federal funding initiatives. The timeline below chronicles the major events. Major Events Public schools are created in the South Carolina constitution with Justus K. Jillson as the first superintendent of education. Governor Heyward initiates the first legislation for school libraries. State matching funds continue through 1927. The Rosenwald Fund provides funding for books for Black schools. Only high schools have trained librarians. Only 28 of 237 schools have a librarian. Teachers administer the majority of the school libraries. Thirteen county libraries offer circulating collections to the White schools through a central school library department. Audiovisual materials and equipment become a part of school library collections. Nancy Jane Day is appointed State Department of Education Supervisor of Library Services.

The Development of School Libraries in South Carolina The following speech was delivered by Margaret Ehrhardt on March 31, 1988 as the Third Annual Deans' Lecture of the University of South Carolina College of Library and Information Science. Ms. Ehrhardt was Supervisor of School Library Services for the South Carolina State Department of Education from 1970 until the early 1980s. THE CRUCIAL YEARS: SCHOOL LIBRARY MEDIA CENTERS The years 1945-1985 were crucial years for school library programs, not only in South Carolina, but for the nation as well. The ALA Handbook for 1944 showed that only 15 states had school library supervisors. It was interesting to note that seven of these were Southern states, including North Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee. Tonight I should like to explore with you some of the significant events that have helped to shape the development of school library media programs in our state. The first significant factor was the employment by the State Department of Education of the first Supervisor of Library Services. It is seldom that one can pinpoint the beginning of a library media program, but this is not true of school library media services in South Carolina. The date was March 29, 1946, and the time was 11:00. It was then that an announcement was made to the School Library Section of the South Carolina Education Association which was in session at University High School here in Columbia that the State Department of Education had received a grant from the General Education Board (of the Rockefeller Foundation) to employ a Library Supervisor. This was the first attempt to bring structure into what had been haphazard library development in the schools.

SOUTH CAROLINA CONNECTS THROUGH LIBRARIES INTRODUCTION The passage of the Library Services and Technology provides the South Carolina State Library a unique opportunity to create a federal library program which meets the library and informational needs of all South Carolinians. With its emphasis on linking libraries, establishing consortia, and providing access to information through electronic networks, the Library Services and Technology Act will bring the library community together for a common purpose. While it is recognized that electronic access to information is crucial to a well-informed society, the Library Services and Technology Act also provides a means of assisting groups with special needs which may prevent their being full participants in the electronic library of tomorrow. The South Carolina State Library has prepared this Library Services and Technology Act Five Year Plan in compliance with Section 224 State Plans of the Library Services and Technology Act. The goal of this plan is to assist South Carolina libraries provide a high level of information services to all South Carolinians, regardless of the type of library they use. PURPOSE It is the purpose of the Library Services and Technology Act to: (1) consolidate Federal library service programs;

SC State Library Press Releases: November 15, 1996 CONTACT: Jane Connor Children Are Encouraged to "Go Places ... Read!" In schools and public libraries across South Carolina, children are celebrating Children's Book Week November 18-23. Children's Book Week celebrates the importance of books and reading in children's lives. To help the schools and libraries promote reading during this week, the South Carolina State Library and the South Carolina Department of Education have provided promotional materials on the theme, "Go Places...Read!" The theme expresses the idea that reading can help children both learn about the world around them and succeed in life. "Research has shown that children who read more do better in school and score higher on standardized tests," says Jane Connor, children's services consultant at the South Carolina State Library. "While parents, teachers and librarians want children to enjoy reading, it is good to know that reading also makes a difference in academic achievement." Families are encouraged to read in the home during November 18-23. Parents can talk with children about what they are reading listen to their children read a story, read aloud to children and take their children to a library or bookstore. Any activity that focuses attention on books and reading helps children to realize reading is important to their family.

What Works, by Ken Haycock Volume 26, Number 5, May-June 1999 Collaboration, Leadership and Technology Research Finding: Teacher-librarians are actively involved in the planning and implementation process in schools with strong technology programs. Comment School districts with exemplary technology programs provide ongoing staff development, including time and resources, ongoing revision to a technology plan, access to technology for both teachers and students, a support structure, and the active involvement of the administration, teaching staff and teacher-librarians in the planning process. Lighthouse technology schools are more likely to have high quality school library media programs as well. The characteristics of exemplary secondary schools include a commitment to increasing student access to technology through the library and providing access to this technology before, during and after school in addition to during the school day. Computer/technology teachers are provided in most large school systems, either through additional funding or trading personnel positions. Some tasks performed by these teachers are the same as those performed by teacher-librarians but many tasks are significantly different, suggesting a strong need for role clarification and collaborative relations. Teacher-librarians who consult with colleagues and attend state conferences are more likely to implement technical innovations than those who do not.

Home Weekly Reader Toolkit Publications Subscribe ... Senior 5/6 WR Kid Reporter Meets South Carolina's First Lady, Rachel Hodges In the state of South Carolina, First Lady Rachel Hodges has started a big reading program. Through Reading with Rachel, schools have received more than 30,000 free books. Hodges has visited more than 250 elementary classrooms in nearly every county of the state. Lindsay Rutledge went to H. E. Corley Elementary last past year and is at Crossroads Middle School this year as a 6th grader. She lives in Irmo, South Carolina. Her love of reading to her own boys inspired Hodges to create Reading with Rachel. Her goal was to help South Carolina's children recognize the fun and importance of reading. A committee of South Carolina educators chooses the books that are read to students and a special book of the month. Eighteen publishing companies and other organizations support the program and donate the books. Hodges has many ways to get her message across the state. She reads to children both at school and at her home, the Governor's Mansion. She also has a radio show that airs once a week. Her Internet Web site provides kids, parents, and teachers information about her program, reading tips, and links to related sites. Since Hodges can't be everywhere at once, a volunteer group, Rachel's Readers, adopts individual schools and reads there each month, giving the media centers copies of the book of the month.
