Abstract
School librarian plays the role of a resource advisor, literature search expert, life coach, etc, Apart from maintaining an efficient collection and providing effective information services, the librarian contributes significantly to students’ holistic development. This paper shares the experiences of a librarian who had the opportunity to teach life skills in her school. Simple strategies were employed using literature as a tool which helped in building a bridge between students and resources. Success stories of a few students using library programs have been listed. The approach to deal with students emotional issues using the concept of bilbiotherapy which has been justified on the lines of Ranganathan’s laws of library science, has been discussed. Librarian’s efforts to instil in them the essential life skills needed to traverse the journey called life are outlined.
