Communities in the SELCO/SELS region have a variety of libraries available to them. Varying types of libraries fulfill different needs for information, and through the multitype regional organization, all work together to serve the entire community. Most citizens are amazed by the depth of specialized information available to them. Almost half the members of SELS are K-12 schools – as of January 2003, 45 public school districts and 9 privately funded schools belong.
Through SELS, school library media specialists, generalists, and staff network with their counterparts from other types of libraries. They can attend training and workshops, share resources, and participate in professional networking. SELS provides consulting services in topics like facility planning or collection maintenance. Schools also participate in contract automation and delivery services.
A list of School Media Centers is available at here.
