Abstract

Many school libraries in Binjai City fail to meet accreditation standards, primarily due to insufficient librarian competencies. This study examines how training frequency and access to learning resources impact the professional competency development of public high school librarians. A quantitative associative approach was employed, with data collected from 27 librarians. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the effects of training frequency (X?) and learning resource access (X?) on librarian competency. The analysis revealed that both training frequency (? = 0.252, p = 0.015) and learning resource access (? = 0.958, p = 0.000) significantly enhance librarian competency. The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.978) indicates that these variables collectively explain 97.8% of competency variance. A strong correlation (R = 0.989) further confirms the relationship. Increasing training opportunities and improving access to quality learning resources are critical strategies for enhancing librarian competencies. These findings advocate for structured, continuous professional development programs to help school libraries achieve superior accreditation standards
