The conceptual research framework uses Montiel-Overall's Model B Cooperation/Partnerships from the Teacher and Librarian Collaboration (TLC) model. The research approach is descriptive/quantitative and is based on 36 respondents consisting of 31 teachers and 5 librarians. The findings indicate that regarding trust, the indicator most depicted is benevolence. In terms of collegiality, teachers, and librarians care for each other, and in the communication aspect, teachers and librarians often communicate with each other.
