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.

School Level Challenge of Library Media Materials Form 

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 discarding.  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 from other schools, districts or Follett will go directly to the school library.
