Which roles typically comprise the staff of a library media center?

• A. All of the above
• B. Paraprofessional
• C. Library media specialist
• D. Student assistants

Answer: (A)

A library media center is staffed to support teaching, learning, and access. The library media specialist leads the program, collaborates with teachers, teaches information literacy, and oversees resources and services. Paraprofessionals provide essential day-to-day support such as circulation, shelving, basic cataloging, and helping patrons. Student assistants handle checkout, shelving, and technology support under supervision. When these roles work together, the center can offer strong instructional support, reliable access to materials, and smooth daily operations, so all of these roles are typically part of the staff.
