teacherlibrarian

A teacher librarian is a professional who holds both teaching and library science qualifications. This dual role allows them to work collaboratively with classroom teachers to integrate information literacy skills into the curriculum and to support student learning across all subject areas. Teacher librarians are responsible for managing the school library, including collection development, cataloging, and circulation, as well as providing instruction on research methods, information evaluation, and the ethical use of information. They also foster a love of reading and promote the use of library resources for both academic and personal enrichment. The teacher librarian serves as a vital link between classroom instruction and the resources available within the school library, ensuring students develop the skills necessary to navigate an increasingly information-rich world. Their expertise helps students become independent learners and critical thinkers.
