Analysis Of Teacher Librarian In Managing The Library Of SMA N 2 Sidikalang

The school library plays a crucial role as a learning resource center in supporting the achievement of educational goals. However, at State Senior High School 2 Sidikalang, library management is still carried out by a teacher who also serves as a librarian, resulting in various management challenges. This situation requires the teacher librarian to be able to optimally divide roles between teaching and library management. This study aims to analyze the role of the teacher librarian in library management at State Senior High School 2 Sidikalang and identify the challenges faced. The research method used a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation with the teacher librarian, the head librarian, and support staff. Data analysis was carried out through systematic reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions to obtain a clear picture of school library management practices. The results show that the teacher librarian's function includes planning annual work programs, organizing collections, mobilizing all school components to support literacy, and supervising library activities.  However, management has not been optimal due to limited human resources who do not have a librarian background and time constraints due to a high teaching load. In conclusion, the role of teacher librarian at State Senior High School 2 Sidikalang is quite strategic in supporting library management functions, but still requires increased competence and support from specialized personnel so that library services are more effective and able to support the development of student literacy in a sustainable manner.
