Teacher Librarians (TLs) are not endangered, but the role that TLs play is evolving and they will need to keep up-skilling, especially in technological services if they want to stay employable. Bonanno (2015) states that hiring trends are changing and now to gain a position of TL, schools are looking for someone with additional skills in ICT to incorporate the new technologies available into the teaching aspect of the role. TLs within schools still show greater academic results in student and as TLs continue to contribute professionally to the curriculum and information literacy of their school, they still will continue to play a vital role of the wider school community and teaching staff.
