FINAL REMARKS17
A Russian school librarian has various opportunities to continuously improve skills.
Every school librarian has a minimum set of tools to learning assistance in addition to textbooks. They
should know about it and be able to use and correctly organize the information space. Methodological
centers need to recognize the importance of training school librarians to monitor information resourcescenters need to recognize the importance of training school librarians to monitor information resources,
