The purpose of this assignment was to individually investigate and report on the role of a library within the context of a school, and the role of the teacher librarian within this library. Furthermore these individual case studies were required to be critically compared and contrasted in relation to other sources. After careful examination of the case study outline and reviewing library related literature, it was decided to complete this task using the following sections: According to the ALSA (2004), Standards of Professional Excellence for Teacher Librarians, teacher librarians are people who ‘support and implement the vision of the school communities’ by the provision of services and programs that ‘contribute to lifelong learners’. Although this statement can be evidenced in all three case studies which follow, the degree to which this occurs varies at each site depending upon the importance that is placed upon the library by adminstration and other staff members, and the role the teacher librarian has within this learning hub.
