The school library media program supports and strengthens the curriculum, bridges the digital divide, and puts state and national standards into action. The school library media specialist encourages reading for learning, reading for pleasure, and reading for life.

The school library media specialist is a teacher, an instructional partner, an informational specialist, and a school library media program administrator. School library media specialists directly affect student achievement by collaborating and planning with teachers, teaching information literacy, designing assessment procedures, and providing supplemental curriculum material.
