High school librarians have the potential to help meet sexual-health information needs of their adolescent patrons, thereby contributing to a healthier society. This Delphi study explored the role of high school librarians as sexual-health information provider, as perceived by two groups who supervise them: district-level library coordinators and high school principals. The two groups expressed conflicting expectations about high school librarians' playing this role. Members of the groups identified twelve motivators and five barriers to sexual-health information provision in high school libraries, both supporting and further contributing to previous findings of related research.
