0 1 Share this with you? Why did I want to The library and librarian are a resource that belongs to all of the students and teachers of the school. Sometimes the role of the school librarian in this tech rich era can become unclear. Without outreach, advocacy, and advertising: my students and teachers may be unsure of how the library and librarian can serve them. School Library Month provides a platform for celebrating, advocating for, and the advertising of the great services and resources your library provides!
