To strengthen and expand the ability to support literacy, technology integration, student achievement, and advocacy for an effective school library/media program. More specifically, the membership will enable access to professional development, leadership opportunities, collaboration, and resources that directly benefit students through enriched school library and media services.

Students will benefit through: • Improved library/media programs through implementation of up-to-date best practices, which can increase student engagement, reading achievement, information literacy, and digital literacy. • Broader access to book programs, reading initiatives, and statewide programs (e.g. book voting programs) that enrich students’ reading experiences. • More diverse and high-quality resources (print, digital, media) curated by a media specialist who is well-informed and resourced. • Programs and events brought to the school (or aligned with the school) through FAME initiatives that encourage students’ love of reading and learning.
