School librarians should not be an endangered species because they are vital teachers that support and encourage other teachers. I think that they have almost become this way because of an aging profession and some schools don’t see the benefit of replacing them. Some schools may not have the funds to support this vital role instead using the funds to support other aspects or they expect teacher librarians to have a range of skills so that they are getting their money’s worth for that role. Teacher librarians need to work hard to have a plan for success in teaching, supporting and working in their role.
