This paper explores the story of two Canadian school library educators and their experiences in one online program over the past ten years. Beginning with stories from the authors own school library experiences and teacher-librarianship education, the paper moves on to explore the successes and challenges of an online teacher-librarianship program. The authors discuss the impact of technology on the learning and teaching experiences. They also highlight some tensions and challenges and opportunities for the future of school library education in Canada.
