- I'm the Lucky One: Readers Advisory at the Core of School Librarianship Alicia Abdul School Libraries Librarians Library Services Reading Material Selection Reference Services Books Reading Interests Library Role Adolescent Literature In this article, the author explores why a school librarian's value should be wrapped up in books. First, reading is a foundational skill, and memories are built around who people are before and who they are after reading a book. School librarians get to be a part of that transformation. Second, books still make up the heart of a physical library, and school librarians can make them shine on the shelves by continually managing the collection, a process that includes what comes in (selection) as much as what goes out (weeding). And third, school librarians elevate the profession through this work. Yes, a librarian is usually a tech guru and a competent teacher, but at the heart of it, librarians are still associated with books.
