The Tennessee Association of School Librarians

The Tennessee Association of  School Librarians annually sponsors three awards and two scholarships. The Innovative Library Award recognizes an innovative program at the elementary, middle, and high school level and comes with a $500 prize. The Clara Hasbrouck Award is given to a TASL member who has demonstrated dedication and commitment to furthering the cause of school libraries in Tennessee by contributing time, leadership and effort to numerous TASL activities over a period of years. The Administrator's Honor Roll recognizes supervisors, principals, and superintendents who have shown outstanding support for the library media programs in Tennessee. In 2004, TASL began the sponsorship of two scholarships for students enrolled enrolled in a school media program at a Tennessee college or university that is approved to certify Library Information Specialists. The one-time grant is $1,000 and is meant  to increase the ranks of individuals within the school library profession. My First AASL Grant is sponsored by Bound to Stay Bound and awards $500 for TASL members to defer expenses to the annual AASL conference.
