After watching Karen Bonanno’s keynote address I believe the take home message to be you are only redundant if you believe yourself to be so and to make sure you are not redundant it is important to have a plan in place in order to achieve your goals.

From the article, Bonanno shows direct relationship between literacy, library budget as well as and student access to teacher librarian support. The TL becomes the link between teachers planning curriculum and resources being used to teach. TLs need to stay on top of information trends and need to ‘ensure their knowledge and skills are kept up to date’ (Bonanno, 2015, p18).
