How does this happen?

The teacher-librarian encourages and supports learning and literacy as:

• TEACHER: teach essential information and technology skills.
• READING ADVOCATE: guide and promote reading, books, media, and technology.
• INFORMATION MANAGER: provide information and technology services, systems, resources, and facilities.

School librarians are critical in evaluating the flood of information available to students. The librarian introduces students to a wide variety of literature through books. In addition, students need to have skills in the areas of analysis, interpretation, synthesis, application and communication of information. The teacher-librarian is integral to the development of these skills.
