International school librarians come from various backgrounds and work in diverse situations, but it is common for them to serve as the sole library professional in large educational institutions. Despite their shared challenges, these practitioners lack robust peer networks for knowledge sharing and to support professional growth.
This collection of narrative essays bridges that gap by bringing together the voices of experienced and award-winning librarians from around the world, including the UK, US, Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Kenya, Mexico, and New Zealand. Each contributor begins with an anecdote from their career, then extrapolates that vignette into a working methodology for library practice, intertwining theory from research and applications from their own library. Each vignette addresses a particular topic or practice, such as:
- imagination and storytelling beyond the pages of a book;
- collection development and cultural sensitivity;
- transitioning from university to school librarianship; and
- AI and student wellbeing.
