  4. Supporting technology use: School Librarians assist with the integration of technology in the classroom, including helping students and teachers use digital resources and instructional technology.

  5. Providing a safe and welcoming space: School Librarians create a welcoming and inclusive environment, ensuring that all students feel valued and supported in their learning and growth.
