21st Century School Library Self-Assessment Updated
The 21st Century School Library Self-Assessment has received minor edits including updated verbiage and revisions to The Professional area under Teaching Staff and Support Staff.
This voluntary school library self- assessment can aid in implementing the SD School Library Guidelines as they relate to the library place, the library program, and the librarian. This tool can also be a catalyst for conversations with stakeholders concerning future planning and development. It can also serve as a checklist toward strategic planning and annual goals with administrators.

Of special note: Each year, the South Dakota State Library, a division of the SD Department of Education, formally and annually recognizes schools with libraries that meet the characteristics of a 21st Century school library through its place, professional, and program. If the overall score of a library's 21st Century School Library Self-Assessment falls within one of the three-point ranges, that library is eligible to apply for this state-level award.
