Teacher Librarian Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently reviewed the school library’s collection and found a gap in materials that support enquiry-based learning across key year levels. In my last role, I helped a team reorganise the digital catalogue and introduced targeted reading lists that aligned with the curriculum and assessment tasks, which reduced search time by about 20 minutes per class. This work came from a practical view of how students access information and how teachers plan lessons. I bring strong skills in information literacy, collection development, and collaboration with educators. I’ve led programs that promote reading for pleasure while tying into literacy goals, and I’ve supported digital literacy across subjects through guided inquiry and ethical information use. I’m comfortable managing both physical and digital spaces and I enjoy working with teaching staff to resource the curriculum effectively. In a recent project, I partnered with teachers to map library resources to a units of inquiry, then ran a cross-curricular outreach program that connected library activities with classroom deadlines. The team reported improved student engagement and significantly more confident resource use in assignments. I used feedback loops with students and staff to refine the services, ensuring access for all abilities and diverse cultural backgrounds. I’d welcome the chance to discuss how I can contribute to [Company Name]. I’m available for a conversation at your convenience and can visit to share ideas on strengthening information literacy and reading programs across the school. Kind regards, [Your Name]
