Library Aid Basics in Canvas
Library Aide Basics (LAB) is a USBE and LSTA grant-funded project that provides training in school library administration through online, self-paced modules and is designed to teach basic library management skills. The LAB program builds upon the successful but dated training generously provided by the Alpine School District (Utah). Southern Utah University utilized the Alpine School District model to developed a statewide online training tool for elementary school library paraprofessionals.
LAB is not intended to replace a school library certification or endorsement program, but it is designed to support library aides in elementary schools. The goal of the LAB program is to direct school library paraprofessionals and their supervisors to helpful resources. Funds for this project have been provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act and are administered by the Utah State Library Division.

TextBook Surplus Process
DSD Librarians are responsible for the Instructional Material Removal service. When textbooks are no longer being used, each school will determine what books can be sold and reused, or what books are too old or damaged and need recycling. Texts that are 10 years old and in good condition will be posted by the librarian to the Follett Surplus Management System (SMS). Any money or credit acquired for sale of surplus texts will go directly to the school library from which the surplus texts originated.
Informational Documents
Create a Surplus Management Account
DSD school librarians are responsible for the Textbook Surplus procedures within their school for selling usable or recycling of unusable texts. Usable texts may be acquired within the district, purchased by other districts, or by Follett through the SMS.
Surplus Process Time Line
Steps to collect texts and prepare them for a DSD warehouse pick-up.
*Ordering boxes may not be approved through the warehouse location request, due to a shortage of boxes.
Please plan ahead and save boxes at your school site.
Teacher/Librarian Form for Textbook Removal
Teachers should complete this form and return it to the school librarian who will determine which texts should be sold or recycled.
Fillable Surplus Text Box Label
Teachers or librarians will fill out and print signs and then attach them to boxed surplus texts.
