Qualified teacher librarians have a pivotal role in all schools and because of their expertise know how to access resources and promote opportunities for children and staff to be inspired by face to face contact with authors and illustrators to ensure a life long love of learning. Both high achievers and marginalised students and overworked teachers benefit enormously from the support and understanding that qualified teacher librarians can provide.

They share a love of books, an insatiable appetite for inquiry learning and a wonderful environment where children can become totally immersed in a world different to their classroom.

It is human interaction that fuels imagination. To remove teacher librarians and cut out libraries is to increase the disconnection between people. That is fine for individualists who don't care about connection but it is not good for a nation. Machines may complement people. They are not substitutes.
