Teacher Librarian Part One focuses on the role of the teacher-librarian and the school library learning commons in the instructional program of the school. We explore strategies for engaging readers, supporting inquiry-based learning, developing information literacy, and using technology for learning within a collaborative and cross-curricular teaching program. The foundations of library management – collection development, selection of resources, budgeting and purchasing, and creating an effective learning environment are explored within the context of how they support the learning culture of the school.
