Abstract:
Reading is one of the four language skills (passive skill) which is given high priority in schools.
As such, many schools recruit school librarians, or also known as thee teacher librarians to
support learners and teachers in the area of literacy which involves majorly reading and writing
that are language skills that go together. A clear definition of the roles a librarian plays within
the school in impacting the learning of reading skills in learners, improving them in that, and
teachers and administrators, with students inclusive need to understand how the librarians
within the school support teachers and students in the area of reading. Furthermore, an
exploration of how collaboration between the language teacher and the librarian can positively
cause an improvement in the reading skills of the learners may be done. Therefore, this proposed research attempts to assess the role of the school librarian in improving the reading skills of learners in lower secondary schools in Uganda using a case study design, with Taana Memorial Secondary School in Tororo as the case of study.
