Produced "live on tape" and exclusively on-location throughout the world, Visions is an extraordinary peek at our planet as seen through the eyes of its world class guides and biographers. Visions host and fellow traveler is series producer/creator, Herb Malsman.

The South Carolina State Library is happy to announce the winners of the 1st Annual National Library Week Day in the Life of South Carolina Libraries photo contest.  During the days of April 16-18, South Carolina Library Staff members submitted a wide range of photographs of librarians working, meeting, teaching, and doing all that librarians do in a given day.

Are you lost in the labyrinth of government and legal websites? Frustrated by long, fruitless searches for legal forms and government documents? Join the Public Library Section for a workshop that will teach you how to find the information that you and your patrons are looking for.

South Carolina State Library will be closed from 8:30 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. on Friday, April 27 for staff development and training.

The goal of LIBRIS in conducting this conference is to provide an affordable one-day forum for library personnel.  This forum will allow attendees to share ideas that will better enable them to carry out the vision and mission of their libraries throughout South Carolina.

Founded seven years ago as a staff development day, the conference has since grown into a one-day conference with participation from the sixteen technical colleges, four year colleges, the State library, several private colleges, public libraries and PASCAL.

Please join the SCLA College & University section for "Keeping up with our patrons: Adapting to user expectations", a workshop to learn how academic libraries are using innovative strategies to meet the real needs of our patrons.

AHJ Regional Library System will help celebrate National Library Week, April 15-21 with many events ranging from night time story hours to Furman Professor Stephanie Mitchem who will speak on “African American Culture”.

As we celebrate our nation's libraries during National Library Week (April 15-21), the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS), Library of Congress, is recognizing the many ways its network library partners engage people in reading and keep them connected to the world around them.

For more than 75 years, NLS has provided blind and physically handicapped readers with free reading materials. The program is a lifeline to many, enabling them to read independently."

We encourage you to be creative in taking photos that capture the essence of South Carolina librarianship and are visually attractive. Winners will be recognized on the SC State Library’s web site and during the 2007 SCLA Annual Conference in the fall in Columbia.
