The purpose of this paper is to show the possibilities of collaborative and partnership approaches of school libraries to achieve librarians’ professional development and interchange ideas in order to inculcate 21st century learning skills. This paper displays opportunities for school librarians to become proactive in providing support across their services through a highly professional network platform. It outlines and discusses the last two years of successful professional experience of GEMS Library Network. This network could play a pivotal role in support of various library practices and professional development of its member librarians.
