Abstract

School libraries are building blocks within every school, they are pillars through which teaching and learning thrive. With the changing nature of education in Kenya to meet the changing needs of the society, the importance of school libraries grows. School libraries are charged with the responsibility of cultivating reading culture through Information Literacy (IL) programs. IL are set of abilities that enable a learner to select, identify, evaluate and use the right information from the large pool of information available both physically and electronically. The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of IL in school libraries on the implementation of Competency Based Curriculum (CBC). The study intended to find out the state of school libraries in Nandi County with a view to recommending the best practices that can be adopted to improve them. The systematic review analyzed previous studies and found out that teachers who are information literate were able to integrate it into the curriculum. The data also indicated that schools with robust IL programs showed significant improvement in students’ ability to use information thus improving their problem-solving skills. The findings of this study will inform stakeholders within the education sector on the importance of school libraries and IL in a competency-based environment.
