contents First Steps with a Library Advisory Committee Pickett, Janie Advisory Committees Library Administration Program Implementation School Libraries High Schools Librarian Attitudes Program Descriptions Program Development Stakeholders Group Dynamics Implementing a library advisory committee (LAC) is one of those fundamentals taught in the Master of Library Science program: gather shareholders, create consensus, and build a community. But the day-to-day reality of K-12 schools often is not conducive to vision building, and if there is no administrator support for such a committee, faculty and student groups brought together by the school librarian are often loose and work sporadically. In August 2012 the author took a new position as head librarian for a Missouri public high school, and, in the new setting, found administrative support for innovation in the school library program. The author shares her experience with building an LAC at her new high school, and positive changes it has brought between the administration, library staff, and school.
