The teacher librarian's literacy program supports teachers by helping them identify books at different level for a specific topic in print or digital format. If the teacher desired outcome is for students to read several texts on a specific topic, the teacher librarian can arrange them so that the materials are identified from the easier to progressively to the more challenging materials (Booth & Rowsell, 2007).
Teacher Librarians support teachers by collaborating with them to develop learning opportunities that are complementary to their curriculum planning aiming at supporting literacy (Lewis-Spector & Jay, 2011).
Teacher librarians support school literacy by helping teachers and their students find resources by guiding them to relevant and appropriate books in regards to the subject and grade level (Annie, N.A.)

Providing an nurturing and engaging environment in which students can find a variety of genres in print or digital format reflecting their reading
level and their diverse interests (Ellis,2017). The library should be the epicentre of reading in the school (Ellis, 2017).
Create a nurturing and inviting environment to support students to become literate as they develop the knowledge and skills to interpret, understand and use language effectively to learn and communicate in and out of school (Lewis-Spector & Jay, 2011). The literacy program is supported by the entire learning community.
Our school librarian at St. Benedict promotes reading and language development through plethora activities to include: book talks; colourful and engaging displays; participation is supported and encouraged in school and district events; local author visits; and book fairs.
