- Promote reading habits through storytelling sessions, book clubs, reading challenges, and library week activities tailored to Nepal's literacy promotion initiatives (e.g., inspired by Room to Read and OLE Nepal programs), targeting foundational literacy for younger students and research skills for older ones.
- Conduct library orientation and information literacy classes for students (especially Grades 6–12) on research skills, referencing (APA/MLA as per NEB guidelines), plagiarism avoidance, and effective use of online databases, aligning with CDC's continuous assessment and NEB's project-based learning requirements.
- Guide +2 students in NEB internal assessments, projects, and exam preparation (e.g., for Science labs, and Management case studies) by providing relevant reference materials, including resources on Nepal Studies and Life Skills.
- Implement and manage digital library services, e-books, online journals, OPAC, institutional repository, and educational platforms like E-Pustakalaya (OLE Nepal) or National Digital Library, ensuring access to curriculum-mapped interactive modules for core subjects.
- Collaborate with subject teachers to integrate library resources into the curriculum, supporting CDC's student-centered learning and NEB's skill-based electives through co-planned activities like book-based projects on environmental studies or social issues.
- Maintain discipline and a conducive learning environment inside the library, promoting values education (e.g., via Living Values Education integration) and community outreach during non-school hours as per Nepal's school library guidelines.
- Prepare annual library budget, stock verification reports, and statistical reports on library usage, in line with MoEST reporting requirements.
- Organize inter-house/school literary events, quizzes on NEB/CDC topics, debates, and exhibitions, including partnerships with local organizations like Nepal Library Association (NLA) or Nepalese Association of School Librarians (NASL).
- Ensure safety and preservation of library materials; oversee binding and repairs when needed, with focus on culturally relevant Nepali texts.
- Supervise assistant librarians, library attendants, and student library monitors, providing training on information literacy and library management.
