Hiring Librarian

Your role as a librarian includes:

• helping students to find books of their interest
• keeping the library looking attractive and tidy
• promoting the library within the school
• engaging with students to provide a range of activities

Helping students in the library

• Many students just want to browse through the library stock to make their selection.
• A well-organised and attractively presented collection is important.
• Books should be arranged tidily and in the correct order to facilitate easy access.
• Be ready to suggest 'what to read next', 'what to do next', 'how to get involved'.

Assisting students who come in the library:

• Helping students means far more than keeping books in order. It also means presenting a helpful and welcoming face to library so that they feel free to ask for help.
• Sometimes you will help them find what they are looking for in your own library.
• By listening to your students, by knowing their interests, by talking to them about what they are really looking for, will you be able to help.
