  • Provide and support educational opportunities for school library personnel.
  • Communicate the role and value of school libraries and librarians.
  • Support and undertake networking among school librarians in New Mexico.

TWO AWARD OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCHOOL LIBRARIES:  Every year the Advocacy for School Libraries Special Interest Group (ASL-SIG), an affiliate of the New Mexico Library Association (NMLA), honors outstanding school librarians and their libraries. In addition to recognition at the annual NMLA conference, the library receives a beautiful plaque and $500 donated by Follett Library Resources.
