Are teacher librarians endangered species?

I would be lying if I were to say that this thought had never crossed my mind. Ms Bonanno’s assertion that ‘what we think, will show in our output’ is candid and undeniable. She calls for teacher librarians to be proactive and surge forward. It could be to conscientiously keep up with information technology skills and curriculum knowledge. We need to establish our individuality and areas of strength. Teacher librarians are crucial links to resourcing the curriculum and the heart of the teaching and learning process. Facing challenges with a ‘glass-half full’ approach will ensure the permanency of teacher librarians.
