Projects & Initiatives
We meet once a month to discuss business, plan events, and catch up with our fellow SLIM students! For more information, check out our social media pages, or reach out to one of our officers.
To foster community among SLIM students, SCALA is proud to host a monthly book club! For more information, you can visit our social media pages on Facebook and Instagram, or refer to the SLIMinfo updates which are sent to SLIM students. All are welcome to join us via Zoom for a casual and friendly meetup to discuss a variety of different books and media.

Every year, SCALA provides financial assistance to SLIM students to attend library conferences. For more information, check out our social media updates, attend a monthly business meeting, or reach out to one of our officers!
