Not only do school librarians have to have a love of reading, they must possess a multitude of other traits. First and foremost, a school librarian is a teacher who is a leader in the school community. School librarians are information specialists, quick thinkers, planners, technologists, and flexible resourceful collaborators. If your child is a motivated self-starter who is organized, a “people person,” and has a love of reading, I’d say, yes, that child could become a great school librarian!
