School librarians can be found in both state and independent schools. The school library or learning centre will house books and journals alongside internet access and audio-visual materials and the librarian is responsible for promoting the
use of the service and engaging with teaching and management staff to ensure this.
You’ll need to be adept at teaching information literacy skills and encouraging and assessing reader development through activities like shadowing the Carnegie Medal for children’s and young people’s fiction. Sometimes the librarian is also
responsible for the virtual learning environment.
