Are school librarians an endangered species?

From my understanding of Karen Bonanno’s keynote speech, I believe that librarians are not an endangered species but the traditional old school, dealing with physical books librarian is endangered. I believe that due to the changing nature of today’s society and our reliance on technology, e-books, podcasts and websites that our librarians need to change as well. As children grow up with less reliance on having to develop the skills to go to a shelf and physically locate a book they are instead developing skills that helps them to search electronically for the information they desire. I believe that librarians need to adapt to being a teacher of research more than locating books.
